Room For Improvement

Acronis Cyber Protect requires improvements in interface design, compatibility, scalability, integration, performance, support, documentation, and security measures.
Users seek improved deduplication, integration, interface, setup, support, storage, performance, pricing, and cloud features in HPE StoreOnce.
We are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.
Chairman at ONGC
If they can provide a waiver or discount for low-income countries, it would help to spread adoption.
Responsible for Internet Technology Development at College of International Transport & Logistics - CITLC
It's only after we discovered there was a compatibility issue with the application that the client was running that we actually had to do a lot of log file shipping to Acronis themselves and getting solutions because of other problems.
Independent Business Owner at 3Kay Solutions
If they reintroduce models with 48 terabytes, it would serve small and medium customers better since not everyone requires to back up large data sizes.
HPE Product Manager at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
It is well-positioned on the radar, with a mature and stable solution.
Infrastructure Manager at a paper AND forest products with 10,001+ employees

Valuable Features

Acronis Cyber Protect offers a user-friendly interface, comprehensive protection, cloud integration, and secure backups with advanced cybersecurity features.
HPE StoreOnce provides efficient data management through high-performance deduplication, scalability, and seamless integration for optimal backup and storage solutions.
The biggest benefit of Acronis Cyber Protect for my customers is that it is a great asset to protect business data and ensure data is in a secure Vault.
Responsible for Internet Technology Development at College of International Transport & Logistics - CITLC
This is beneficial because any backup package stored in the cloud is not free, and if it shrinks well, it allows users to pay less for cloud storage.
IT Manager at HASNER TECNOLOGIA
The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy.
IT Specialist at Ramton Technologies Pvt Ltd
An important feature of StoreOnce is that they can reserve an amount of storage capacity as protected capacity for a limited time, safeguarding their data against intrusion and other interactions.
HPE Product Manager at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
The most effective features for data deduplication are maximizing storage capacity and minimizing expenditure.

Reliable image backups have protected our HMIs and simplified on‑premises recovery
We have not tried the vulnerability assessment feature yet because we have a different set of protocols for our cybersecurity. We conduct audits and plug the gaps as part of our security approach. We are not using AI with the anti-malware from Acronis; we are using it only for backup and recovery. On the backup and restoration side with Acronis Backup, some on-premises AI features which can detect anomalies may be something which would improve the product significantly. Otherwise, we are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.

Collaborate effectively with partners and benefit from robust data management capabilities
The functions of HPE StoreOnce that I find most valuable are its deduplication and replication options. These features save data and reduce the size of data significantly. If the actual size for backup data is 100 terabytes, using StoreOnce, it will be around less than 10% of the original size due to the 1 to 10 deduplication ratio. So, compression and replication are critical features I appreciate. Additionally, adaptive backup and restore capabilities of HPE StoreOnce are indeed very helpful functions. As I know from my technical team, the process is very easy for end users because the GUI and user experience with StoreOnce are straightforward. They can restore their backups at any time. An important feature of StoreOnce is that they can reserve an amount of storage capacity as protected capacity for a limited time, safeguarding their data against intrusion and other interactions. Based on feedback from customers, StoreOnce is regarded as a highly useful solution for backup. I am satisfied with the security aspects of HPE StoreOnce, but it's crucial for any company to maintain a multi-layer security approach. Starting with a firewall is essential for maintaining their environment. Additionally, security features on StoreOnce are useful. I believe that no company should rely solely on one layer of security; they should adopt a multi-layer security strategy that begins at the network level and extends to their internal solutions.
