Sentiment score

HPE StoreOnce customer service is highly regarded for its responsiveness, knowledgeable staff, reliable service, and flexible support offerings.
Whenever I have a question, they respond very quickly each time.
I'll give them a nine for how responsive they are in technical support.
The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks.
HPE's support is very good, proactive, and monitored through InfoSight.
When we open a case for support during installation or other matters, they are always timely and provide full support.
 

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.

Acronis Cyber Protect is dependable, stable, with efficient backups, though updates and UI delays pose occasional challenges.

HPE StoreOnce is highly stable with consistent performance, rare issues swiftly resolved, and reliability improving with newer models.

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.
If they can provide a waiver or discount for low-income countries, it would help to spread adoption.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
The most effective features for data deduplication are maximizing storage capacity and minimizing expenditure.
The recovery is important.

Has ensured reliable data protection and quick recovery across various industries
The features of Acronis Cyber Protect that I find most useful for my customers are the Vault, data protection, and the ability to protect and access data anytime with the Vault feature. The AI-based antimalware feature in Acronis Cyber Protect is very effective in preventing cyber threats. AI is a good asset in protecting cybersecurity because it provides inception into threats and how to react with them before securing. It is very important and a great asset as a feature. 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. Users can gain access to their data anytime. My future work will require mobility, so cloud-based access to data will be very beneficial.
