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.

"The technical support provided by Acronis is great."

"The most valuable features are the full image backup, and the file or document sharing, allowing documents to be easily accessed from anywhere."

More Acronis Cyber Infrastructure pros

"Nimble is easy to use, but hard to install. Once it's installed, it's user-friendly. Reporting is another advantage because we get a lot of statistical forecasting. It helps us see into the future with that."

"The most valuable feature of HPE Alletra dHCI is the one-click upgrade function, which allows all drivers and services to be downloaded to all servers easily."

"From a storage perspective, outside of dHCI, I think it's one of the best storage solutions out there in the market."

"Very good in-line compression."

"HPE Alletra dHCI was good because we could have the vVols, which we are using for our production server, with the snapshots."

"The technical support services are good."

"HPE Nimble Storage dHCI has the most valuable features for performance, resilience, and scalability."

Cons

"If they could make improvements with the virtual environment then it would be better."

"The support for this solution is a major thing that they need to focus on and improve."

"If they could make improvements with the virtual environment then it would be better."

"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."

"Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is too populated. They have many features, but some features are still missing, it is not complete."

"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."

"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."

More Acronis Cyber Infrastructure cons

"I rate Nimble one out of 10 for ease of setup. Setting up Nimble Storage was a nightmare. It took us three months to deal with all the kinks and bugs. We had two people from HPE assisting us and two from our team."

"Lacking integration to the cloud."

"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."

"Sometimes the technical support would get back to us in two hours, but other times it would take them two or even three days to respond."

"The initial setup is a little bit complicated."

"A potential area of improvement for HPE Alletra dHCI could be including integration with applications because it is currently just for virtualization and more insights of what is running inside the virtual machines."

"Companies in small countries face problems with spare parts."
