Acronis Cyber Protect vs HPE StoreOnce comparison

"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."

"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."

"The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy."

"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."

"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."

"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and its user-friendly interface compared to other tools."

"The tool is user-friendly."

"Acronis Backup is easy to use."

"The hardware is strong and all the equipment has a good infrastructure. Personally, I think it's the best storage product in HPE for small to medium-sized businesses."

"The product's most valuable feature is stability."

"Catalyst backup is used to back up Oracle databases, and provides very good throughput during backups."

"I like the tool’s deduplication feature. We get a ratio of 9:1 for deduplication. The product is also Linux based. Last year, our organization faced some virus attacks. However, the backup was safe because of the product being a Linux version. HPE StoreOnce is a secure product."

"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."

"The solution's licensing policy is more practical and not confusing."

"The implementation is not that complex for someone who has experience."

"HPE StoreOnce is an easy-to-use tool."

"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."

"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."

"The product needs to have a simple DR process."

"​It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."

"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."

"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."

"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."

"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."

"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."

"They could provide more options for storage capacity."

"The cost is at the forefront of everyone's mind."

"HPE StoreOnce should come with a detailed installation guide."

"One item I wanted to see is SSD drives as a cache, and that was, for a time, still lacking in StoreOnce, however, they have done it now. It's not available yet, however, it will be shortly."

"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."

"The web interface, ease of use, and GUI all need to be improved."

"The product's price could be better."

"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."

"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."

"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."

"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."

"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."

"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."

"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."

"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."

"The licensing schemes could improve in HPE StoreOnce and the price is high. They should reduce the price."

"We have got a perpetual license, and we have access to all the features. If you are using cloud banks, you can store the internal data in HPE Cloud if needed. You can offload the data to the HPE Cloud. It is a licensed product. We have got around 10 TB of cloud bank storage with a one-time payment. We specifically took 10 TB for very critical offsite backups. We can also increase it in blocks if needed."

"The solution is pretty expensive."

"To be honest, we were quite happy with the price, but we always want things cheaper than they are. I think for what we got, we felt that the price was quite reasonable comparing it to other products that provide that same level of functionality."

"There are costs for additional storage and space."

"I would rate it around two or three because, compared to others, it tends to be higher priced."

"With the same capacity of Data Domain and ExaGrid, which is 80 terabytes, HPE is the cheapest one."

"HPE StoreOnce is cheaper compared to other solutions in the market."
