HP recommend their own products? You don't say!
I don't know this particular one but in my experience the main benefits of
third party storage/recovery management software are around simplifying the
implementation and management of your storage and backup policies. In an
environment where you have many and varied requirements for backup and
recovery that can certainly save a lot of effort. On the other hand if you
only have a few servers with one or two backup cycles you'll probably get on
just fine with SQL Server's own maintenance plans.
