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 most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"The most valuable features are the full image backup, and the file or document sharing, allowing documents to be easily accessed from anywhere."
"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."
"Because they have multiple solutions integrated into one license, we can justify the cost."
"The best feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is how it backs up files in a user-friendly manner."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Cyber Infrastructure is the multi-tenancy model, we can create customers and services for them."
"The technical support provided by Acronis is great."
"I love InfoSite. That gets you a lot of good detailed information."
"HPE Alletra dHCI is very comfortable with high performance and quick installation."
"The product provides zero downtime."
"With regards to performance, configuration, and longevity it is upgradeable, which means it has a good TCO rate. These are valuable aspects to me."
"The integration of AI tools for predictive analysis sets it apart from competitors."
"The nice thing about it is that it truly integrates with the cloud, so I can move my volumes bi-directionally in and out of the cloud."
"HPE's InfoSight software, which does the comparative analysis and artificial intelligence built-in in the box, and with Nimble they do well against the competition. Additionally, the dashboards are good."
"Nimble Storage is a capable platform with high availability."
 

Cons

"Backing up Azure resources is an area where there's room for improvement, as they are not fully covered yet."
"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. They need to improve many features, such as email security and disaster recovery."
"I would like to see real-time backup supported in the next release of this solution."
"The support for this solution is a major thing that they need to focus on and improve."
"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."
"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 implementation process was problematic due to firmware incompatibilities and lengthy support intervention."
"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."
"In our current scenario, only HPE engineers can deploy. An engineer with general-purpose skills cannot deploy those systems."
"In a future release, I would like to add something similar to support or the capability to predict any kind of failure based on the software with the cloud, or management support from the wholesale."
"The solution must be hypervisor-agnostic."
"I can tier my data in different storage on the cloud, but I cannot tier the data with HPE Alletra dHCI."

"The pricing is on the high side and the subscription is renewed every year."

"The cost of the licensing is reasonable."
"I would rate the licensing model a three out of ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten is cheap."
