Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America.
It is well-positioned on the radar, with a mature and stable solution.

Setup Cost

Acronis Cyber Protect offers reasonable pricing and good value, though complex pricing may challenge evaluators, especially for smaller environments.
HPE StoreOnce pricing is competitive but seen as high with mixed satisfaction, influencing its perceived value against competitors.

Valuable Features

Acronis Cyber Protect provides comprehensive backup, security features, and management tools, ensuring data protection across multiple platforms for businesses.
HPE StoreOnce excels in deduplication, improving storage efficiency, backup speeds, and integration, offering flexible, cost-effective data management.
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.
The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy.
The most effective features for data deduplication are maximizing storage capacity and minimizing expenditure.
The recovery is important.
