Integrated cybersecurity and backup have improved ransomware resilience and simplified recovery
In my opinion, it would be better if Acronis expanded their integration with multiple products. Right now, backup and mail backup are only limited to M365 and Google. Most of the customers in my country use hosted servers or cPanel, IceWarp, and other small office and home office email solutions. If they can expand that integration, it would be helpful. Making it even better would be if they have an industrial-level backup solution with multiple integrations and multiple backup capabilities that their competitor has. This would allow us to focus on one singular license for backup and confidently position it to an enterprise-level environment, such as a data center-level environment.

Improved telecom control functions and security have exposed user plane performance gaps
I see that the hardware side and performance concerns are prevalent, even in Cisco hardware used in the card platform. We have observed the same issues with Cisco Compute Hyperconverged platforms as well, indicating a performance issue. Regarding the stability rating, it should be around seven because the support from Cisco is nice, but the performance of the product does not meet our preferences. For additional features to enhance competitiveness, Cisco needs to improve their hardware utilization performance specifically. There is a significant gap between the throughput they recommend and what commercial enterprises experience, which is around a thirty percent gap. If we talk about Red Hat or other external platforms, in that scenario, it is better for enterprises that want a complete support package to go with Cisco. However, if the enterprise has the capability to maintain in-house, it may be better to consider different hyperscalers. Another concern with Cisco is that they are trying to bind customers to specific hardware.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support provided by Acronis is great."
"The best feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is how it backs up files in a user-friendly manner."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"Because they have multiple solutions integrated into one license, we can justify the cost."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is the multi-tenancy model, we can create customers and services for them."
"The most valuable features are the full image backup, and the file or document sharing, allowing documents to be easily accessed from anywhere."
"The reporting and auditing features of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure are the most effective for data protection; it has a single console management system, and all products are integrated into one console, which makes it very efficient."
"Regarding Cisco Compute Hyperconverged's data protection capabilities in terms of business continuity and protection, I would rate them as a nine, as there are no concerns concerning protection."
"Cisco Compute Hyperconverged has positively impacted my organization by providing automatic failover and diversity of the failover which has helped us greatly in disaster recovery."
 

Cons

"The support for this solution is a major thing that they need to focus on and improve."
"Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is too populated. They have many features, but some features are still missing, it is not complete. They need to improve many features, such as email security and disaster recovery."
"I would like to see real-time backup supported in the next release of this solution."
"The only downside is when comparing backup scenarios. Veeam has much more backup capabilities for data center and enterprise environments, but Acronis only focuses on SMBs and mid-level markets."
"Backing up Azure resources is an area where there's room for improvement, as they are not fully covered yet."
"If they could make improvements with the virtual environment then it would be better."
"Regarding the stability rating, it should be around seven because the support from Cisco is nice, but the performance of the product does not meet our preferences."
"Initially, Cisco Compute Hyperconverged was not stable, but we have gotten it to that stage; I previously mentioned the blade chassis and a number of blades failing, as well as some cards being dead on arrival when the equipment initially came."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is on the high side and the subscription is renewed every year."
"We pay monthly for the use of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure. There are additional features that we use that have an extra fee."
