Helps to consolidate D2D backups and has a good deduplication ratio
I was involved with the HPE team in the implementation of the tool which included steps like zone grade configuration, tape grade configuration, etc. The zoning part during implementation was very cumbersome. The tool’s implementation took around one week maximum to complete. One person from the HPE team helped us with the deployment. The tool’s deployment was a big process. We had to first deploy the hardware. Then we needed to connect it to the server. We had to also install HPE’s Data Protector. There were multiple things to be configured such as the configuration of Data Protector with D2D backup.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its UI. The product's UI makes it easy for users to configure the tool."
"Technical support is quite good."
"From a centralized system, I can manage the interface, the backup policies, and the status of the database."
"I like the tool’s deduplication feature. We get a ratio of 9:1 for deduplication. The product is also Linux based. Last year, our organization faced some virus attacks. However, the backup was safe because of the product being a Linux version. HPE StoreOnce is a secure product."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"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."
"Pricing is fairly reasonable and not overly expensive."
"For virtualization it's perfect."
"Very flexible, all-in-one solution."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are efficient backup and replication. Additionally, Veeam Backup Replication supports all products and vendors."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its backup feature."
"Recovery of backup data is the most valuable feature."
"Replication is most valuable."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its ease of deployment, its many interesting functions, and its good performance for both backup and restoration."
 

Cons

"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."
"The solution's pricing could be improved."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."
"The cost is at the forefront of everyone's mind."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."
"Device backup could be improved."
"The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time."
"In the past, Veeam had a host-based license, but now it will be part of Microsoft's core license. I don't like this licensing model. Host-based licensing is better for my system. Maybe so other organizations prefer the core-based."
"The product must be able to perform different types of backups."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"It is not easy to navigate, especially with the numerous reports available."
"There needs to be more integration with VMware and the virtual machine."
"There is some complexity we have experienced when using the solution that should be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's cost is above average."
"We have got a perpetual license, and we have access to all the features. If you are using cloud banks, you can store the internal data in HPE Cloud if needed. You can offload the data to the HPE Cloud. It is a licensed product. We have got around 10 TB of cloud bank storage with a one-time payment. We specifically took 10 TB for very critical offsite backups. We can also increase it in blocks if needed."
"HPE StoreOnce is cheaper compared to other solutions in the market."
"The solution is pretty expensive."
"With the same capacity of Data Domain and ExaGrid, which is 80 terabytes, HPE is the cheapest one."
"There are costs for additional storage and space."
"I rate the platform's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The cost of HPE StoreOnce is very expensive."
"The price is pretty cheap for our market."
"I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
"Customers require a perpetual license for the product. However, along with the license, they must also subscribe to the support service for one year or three years under a separate contract."
"I rate the pricing a five, depending on the application and environment."
"The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is reasonable compared to IBM."
"Veeam Data Platform, it's pay-as-you-go. So, the more options you choose, the more consumption you have in monthly billing."
"The pricing depends on the number of clients. We pay 10,00 USD per year. On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"Since our Veeam license is perpetual, we only pay for annual maintenance."
