Sentiment score
7.2
HPE StoreOnce enhances cost efficiency, speeds restores, and offers scalability, leading to generally high user satisfaction despite varied ROI.

Customer service and technical support vary, with unreliable response times despite valued 24/7 availability and remote access.
Sentiment score
7.6
HPE StoreOnce customer service is highly regarded for its responsiveness, knowledgeable staff, reliable service, and flexible support offerings.
I'll give them a nine for how responsive they are in technical support.
Whenever I have a question, they respond very quickly each time.
The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks.
When we open a case for support during installation or other matters, they are always timely and provide full support.
HPE's support is very good, proactive, and monitored through InfoSight.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
Acronis Cyber Protect is scalable, flexible, and performant, with minor issues affecting on-premise users more than cloud users.
Sentiment score
7.4
HPE StoreOnce is scalable for enterprises, though some models require planning due to capacity limits and additional licensing.
Acronis Cyber Protect is a scalable product.
I would rate it eight on a scale from 1 to 10 for scalability, considering it will be multiple assets.
The ability of HPE StoreOnce to scale is strong when more sizing options are available.
The scalability of HPE StoreOnce is very good.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Acronis Cyber Protect is dependable, stable, with efficient backups, though updates and UI delays pose occasional challenges.
Sentiment score
7.7
HPE StoreOnce is highly stable with consistent performance, rare issues swiftly resolved, and reliability improving with newer models.
It ended up being at a point where we actually had to disable some features in order for the client to work through that specific purpose.
The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high.
For the stability of HPE StoreOnce, based on customer feedback, I rate it highly as one of the most stable products in the backup and archiving line.
 

Room For Improvement

Acronis Cyber Protect could improve user interface, installation, compatibility, performance, support, pricing, and integration for enhanced functionality.
Users seek improved deduplication, integration, interface, setup, support, storage, performance, pricing, and cloud features in HPE StoreOnce.
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.
Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America.
The Protect environment should automatically secure the last backup screens to prevent any changes, even by an admin.
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.
It is well-positioned on the radar, with a mature and stable solution.
While the solution does everything expected, it would be beneficial if AI could be integrated for optimization and monitoring.
 

Setup Cost

Acronis Cyber Protect offers affordable licensing options, though some find it expensive in large environments, yet valued for capabilities.
HPE StoreOnce setup is costly initially, but offers competitive, feature-rich pricing with capacity-based licensing and bundled support.
I would rate the price as nine out of ten.
The solution is quite expensive, possibly rated around seven and a half on a scale of one to ten.
 

Valuable Features

Acronis Cyber Protect combines easy interface, backup, and cybersecurity for versatile OS support with centralized management and cloud storage.
HPE StoreOnce provides efficient data management through high-performance deduplication, scalability, and seamless integration for optimal backup and storage solutions.
The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy.
It also encrypts your backups and makes it safe, so it doesn't get affected with viruses.
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.
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.
The most effective features for data deduplication are maximizing storage capacity and minimizing expenditure.
The recovery is important.

Encounter challenges in troubleshooting but experience efficient customer support
The application itself is a bit bloated. Although it has a lot of features when it comes to troubleshooting, we don't basically know where to start even though we do give them the log files to troubleshoot they don't give us a proper solution set. So I would say because it's bloated, it's a bit more difficult to troubleshoot where you get certain errors. From my side, on the POC I didn't really need to do much. 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. So on a day-to-day basis, you don't even maintain it, you just forget about it. You get alerts, but usually in between. It's quite easy to manage. To be honest with you, since I didn't really test that option of Acronis Cyber Protect, it's supposed to make everything feasible and easy to manage but I never got the option of testing it out, so I cannot really say at this stage.
