Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup is simple."
"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."
"HPE StoreOnce has high performance."
"The implementation is not that complex for someone who has experience."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"The most valuable features for us are the ease of use, the reliability, and the exceptional deduplication that we get across that data that we store on those devices."
"The solution is stable."
"HPE StoreOnce is particularly useful in situations where organizations require a backup solution to store their data. Its deduplication feature is quite impressive, providing a deduplication ratio of around 25 to 26."
"One of the most valuable features is the simplicity of the solution's administration."
"The fast backup and restore feature is the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to restore the VMs into a test environment."
"It has helped us to protect our IP address and critical information."
"It is cost-effective. A lot of times, people pick Veeam because of its price."
"It's scalable."
"It has helped us transfer the solution in two days instead of working for a minimum of one week to ten days."
"The product is very simple in its design. We don't need it to perform complicated tasks."
 

Cons

"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."
"We would like to see some improvements in the Veeam Backup & Replication integration. It's good, but it has a lot of room to improve. In particular around the inability to easily move data between StoreOnce appliances."
"The user interface of HPE StoreOnce is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."
"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."
"improvement? HPE StoreOnce has a limitation with respect to controllers. Other tools offer more than one controller. I feel that the high availability of the view controller should be redundant. The tool’s control and UI part should be improved and made more advanced. The feature that helps with the manual movement of tapes should also be improved."
"HPE StoreOnce could improve the capacity support."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by making the monitoring system free. If I would like to have any monitoring system by Veeam I have to purchase it. It should come free with the solution. They should provide a monitoring system to make the work easier and smooth."
"I would like to see the Veeam cloud solution and Microsoft Office 365 included all in one platform."
"The price can be better."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The price is an issue. If one has a large number of servers, say... 100-plus, and wishes to add more, an exhausted budget may hinder this ability."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to do monitoring and traffic aggregation in the whole virtual network environment."
"Veeam currently lacks features for backing up to network-attached storage. Veeam Backup & Replication agents do not support S3 storage. Only Veeam Backup & Replication server supports S3 storage."
"I have also been struggling with the storage and in some cases I need to move things due to performance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the product is reasonable."
"I would rate it around two or three because, compared to others, it tends to be higher priced."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"The cost of HPE StoreOnce is very expensive."
"To be honest, we were quite happy with the price, but we always want things cheaper than they are. I think for what we got, we felt that the price was quite reasonable comparing it to other products that provide that same level of functionality."
"The product's pricing is medium."
"The product is not expensive. It is available at a good price."
"There are costs for additional storage and space."
"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable. It is not inexpensive nor is it expensive, it is in the middle range compared to other solutions. There can be additional costs for addons."
"Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."
"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."
"We try to use perpetual licensing, and there are no additional costs. They have recently moved to universal licensing, which is more expensive, and I would like them to go back to host licensing."
"We purchase a license annually."
"Veeam products are less expensive than other products. The licensing costs are low and they're pretty affordable."
"We are happy with the pricing and we pay for licensing on a subscription basis."
"The product is expensive."
