Integrated cybersecurity and backup have improved ransomware resilience and simplified recovery
In my opinion, it would be better if Acronis expanded their integration with multiple products. Right now, backup and mail backup are only limited to M365 and Google. Most of the customers in my country use hosted servers or cPanel, IceWarp, and other small office and home office email solutions. If they can expand that integration, it would be helpful. Making it even better would be if they have an industrial-level backup solution with multiple integrations and multiple backup capabilities that their competitor has. This would allow us to focus on one singular license for backup and confidently position it to an enterprise-level environment, such as a data center-level environment.

Modern infrastructure has supported critical business services and delivers strong data protection
To be honest, I did not make any changes in Nimble, and the same applies to StoreOnce. The system is built and ready-made. It was already built before we received it, but overall, everything is clear and direct, and there is nothing complex, so I do not need to do a deep dive in the system to resolve or change anything. I do not use HPE Nimble Storage HPE Alletra dHCI intelligent automation. I do not use intelligent data services in managing my data infrastructure. I have not actually used additional functionality for Nimble Storage HPE Alletra dHCI right now, but I think this feature is very useful, especially AI. AI is involved in any software now, and I do not use it in my system, but I think it's very useful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is how it backs up files in a user-friendly manner."
"Because they have multiple solutions integrated into one license, we can justify the cost."
"The reporting and auditing features of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure are the most effective for data protection; it has a single console management system, and all products are integrated into one console, which makes it very efficient."
"The most valuable features are the full image backup, and the file or document sharing, allowing documents to be easily accessed from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"The technical support provided by Acronis is great."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is the multi-tenancy model, we can create customers and services for them."
"The solution is easy to use and easier to manage compared to the other vendors, the pricing is good, and the stability seems to be reliable."
"When you require high growth on dHCI or hyper-converged, the HPE Nimble Storage dHCI is the right solution."
"Nimble DHCI is really user friendly and not complex"
"It is easier to manage compared to the other vendors."
"HPE Nimble Storage dHCI's user interface is very easy to work with."
"Nimble Storage is a capable platform with high availability."
"Artificial intelligence is built into the product. If there's a failure, HP support will proactively call the client about the issue."
"The solution is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The support for this solution is a major thing that they need to focus on and improve."
"Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is too populated. They have many features, but some features are still missing, it is not complete. They need to improve many features, such as email security and disaster recovery."
"If they could make improvements with the virtual environment then it would be better."
"I would like to see real-time backup supported in the next release of this solution."
"Backing up Azure resources is an area where there's room for improvement, as they are not fully covered yet."
"The only downside is when comparing backup scenarios. Veeam has much more backup capabilities for data center and enterprise environments, but Acronis only focuses on SMBs and mid-level markets."
"In our current scenario, only HPE engineers can deploy. An engineer with general-purpose skills cannot deploy those systems."
"I know when I purchased it, it really wasn't ready for prime time as I had to go through at least five or six deployments before it actually stuck."
"This year 2022, we have the possibility to include new kinds of storage with a high disk availability, such as Alletra 6000 and Alletra 9000. Those are the new storage available. If we would like to improve the quality and the capability and the high availability of these products, we can choose between different costs. This is another benefit from this HPE Nimble Storage dHCI solution of hyper-converged."
"The performance of HPE Nimble Storage dHCI could improve. Other solutions, such as Cisco, are better."
"HPE Nimble Storage dHCI currently is promoting only VMware as a hypervisor, whereas if they can look into other OSs, such as KVM or Red Hat, it would be an improvement."
"The product is expensive."
"They should improve just the support."
"The solution must be hypervisor-agnostic."
