Good backup solution but challenges with the stability

It is recommended that people know what they are starting with. A part of our challenge was we bought and needed to implement it. So by the time we went to implement it, we were running into support issues. Also, make a market comparison to ensure that the product you choose is what you want to end up with. I would give it a six out of ten because restoring from a backup takes longer than usual. It should happen in a matter of hours, not a matter of days. We are yet to have an experience when trying to restore from Acronis that we haven't had to wait at least a couple of days for our server to be available for testing or working.

Helps to consolidate D2D backups and has a good deduplication ratio

I was involved with the HPE team in the implementation of the tool which included steps like zone grade configuration, tape grade configuration, etc. The zoning part during implementation was very cumbersome. The tool’s implementation took around one week maximum to complete. One person from the HPE team helped us with the deployment. The tool’s deployment was a big process. We had to first deploy the hardware. Then we needed to connect it to the server. We had to also install HPE’s Data Protector. There were multiple things to be configured such as the configuration of Data Protector with D2D backup.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."

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

"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."

"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."

"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."

"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."

"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"The solution is stable."

"The important feature is compression and duplication. It has a good compression ratio and is very stable."

"Technical support is quite good."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its catalyst mode, along with better performance, backup, and recovery."

"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 deduplication feature in this product is amazing."

"HPE StoreOnce is particularly useful in situations where organizations require a backup solution to store their data. Its deduplication feature is quite impressive, providing a deduplication ratio of around 25 to 26."

"Deduplication and compression are in a good ratio. It supports the HPE Catalyst protocol, which is much faster than NFS and other protocols. We use CommVault and Veeam, and these two solutions support the Catalyst protocol very well and are integrated at high speed. It is faster than normal access."

Cons

"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."

"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."

"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."

"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."

"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."

"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."

"This is not a feature-rich solution."

"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"While StoreOnce has many features, it needs to focus on integrating with third-party backup software solutions."

"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."

"The solution's technical support should be faster."

"The repository should have an extension to connect to the cloud and deposit the backups."

"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."

"The product's price could be better."

"The product could be improved with better support for data protection."

"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."

"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."

"I like the pricing, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. "

"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."

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

"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."

"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."

"The tool is cheap compared to other products."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

"The price puts me off. It's definitely on the high side."

"There are costs for additional storage and space."

"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."

"I rate the platform's pricing a seven out of ten."

"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."

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

"The solution is pretty expensive."

"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten."
