We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Infrastructure and NetApp HCI [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Nutanix, VMware and others in HCI."Speed and high availability have been the most valuable for us."
"It has given the company an almost zero possibility of downtime."
"The management interface on the software is very simple. It is insanely simple compared to most SANs. The interface is also powerful when used to complete tasks that an IT administrator needs to complete."
"The most valuable features are high availability and real-time replication between two servers."
"We like their high availability. It reduces the downtime for our entire organization's environment."
"The ability for us to manage all of our nodes from the same console makes systems administration very easy."
"The fact that the solution is vendor-agnostic allows it to be used with any virtualization vendor while remaining a powerful abstraction over storage."
"It has allowed me to effectively and confidently manage the maintenance of hosts where I can power off a host and have its VMs migrate to another one."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"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 multi-vertical aspect is what is most valuable for us. The main reason we wanted a multi protocol was because Amazon was not able to provide us with access to the same data as we could get from Linux and Windows lengths. That was our value proposition for this solution."
"HCI has helped with storage persistence across private and hybrid clouds for the last year. It's faster and more reliable with minimal downtime, as it doesn't require any maintenance."
"The most valuable feature is the software design storage that really provided a faster, agile, easier to scale up and out storage path."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the SolidFire interface."
"Simple setup and having the storage and compute right on one deployment is the most valuable aspect of this solution. They're able to get set up and ready to go and start having their DevOp team deploy to that environment."
"Scalability was another thing I was looking at. The solution, by its very nature, is designed to be expandable and flexible, so you don't have to buy performance you don't need today, but you're also not stuck with something you can't expand."
"The ease of deployment is a positive feature that allows us to scale easily."
"I see no need for major improvements but there could be some improvements in the form of notifications and the simplifying of maintenance mode."
"I think the setup could be streamlined a bit."
"There should be publicly available tutorials on YouTube or other platforms that help the users to integrate this solution with other platforms, for example."
"If there was one feature I would like to see it would be a built-in subsystem for managing UPS backups shutdown procedures providing a way to initiate VM shutdown on all host servers, shut down the host servers, then put the fault-tolerant mirroring in standby, and finally shut down the StarWind SANs."
"It would be good to have a little more access to control certain aspects within the UI."
"I would like to see improvements in the documentation area."
"With data verification, I would like to know how does the solution perform validation of data being synced between two VSANs."
"I want to suggest that the complexity of the startup and shutdown procedure needs to be reduced."
"If they could make improvements with the virtual environment then it would be better."
"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."
"It is easy to install now, but could potentially be even simpler."
"The price should be lowered. It's a little expensive."
"To improve the product, they should make it more flexible."
"If you want to have a really dense data center then it's hard to have a big chunk of cabling going through everything."
"It is difficult to get acclimated to all the new features quickly. The onboard process could be improved to bring clients up to speed faster."
"I would like for them to fall a little closer to like the VMware release model. The new features and new solutions tend to come from the VMware side. I would like for NetApp to follow along closely with VMware's release schedule."
"The networking needs improvement."
"I would like to see a better upgrade process, like the one that ONTAP has."
