Useful multi-tenancy model, reliable, and simple setup
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. In a future release, there needs to be analytics when there is an existing dashboard, this should be a requirement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is the multi-tenancy model, we can create customers and services for them."
"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."
"The technical support provided by Acronis is great."
"The most valuable features are the full image backup, and the file or document sharing, allowing documents to be easily accessed from anywhere."
"One of the good features would be the fast backup solution Hyper Converged offers, which is more efficient compared to other vendors."
"Hyper Converge is easier to manage and performs better than traditional infrastructure."
"The scalability of this tool is very good. You can basically add more storage and seamlessly expand the current storage that you have."
"The solution has many good features."
"The product enables me to use any software or database."
"One of the solution's strong points is the deduplication capabilities of SimpliVity."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the in-built backup system. The backup speed is also excellent."
 

Cons

"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."
"Backing up Azure resources is an area where there's room for improvement, as they are not fully covered yet."
"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."
"If the solution could further compress the data, it would use less storage."
"The solution's pricing for the hardware and support could be reduced."
"In the Hyper Converged environment, some of the brands only support the OS VMware and not Hyper-V from Microsoft or even Red Hat or KVM."
"Though with HPE Hyper Converged, you get everything, the documentation part is very much required, especially if you opt for the solution's subscription-based licensing model."
"This solution is very costly."
"I would like to see a more intuitive, user-friendly UI."
"Scalability is an issue because it becomes very expensive. When you need to upgrade memory, you have to upgrade memory across the nodes. Suppose a customer has gone with a three-node HCI solution, then to increase the memory, you have to do it across the three nodes."
"One problem I've had is that I was trying to do a move and it was not working. I was given an error and a message asking me to shut down the machine first and then move it to another host."
 

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."
"The price per value compared to other solutions, like Nutanix and SimpliVity. (We made the deal before approval of HPE SimpliVity deal)."
"The entire solution is packaged with all licenses and support."
"The solution is expensive - not only the hardware costs but server costs too. And the more you scale, the more expensive it gets."
"I would rate the price at seven out of ten. There are no additional licensing fees, but it would be cheaper to go with a dHCI solution."
"It is an expensive solution, however. If they could adjust the pricing, that would be helpful."
"HPE Hyper Converged is an affordable solution."
"The product's pricing is very competitive because HPE provides a buyback policy to users...Users can make either monthly or yearly payments towards the licensing cause of the solution."
"The solutions cost us a lot."
