We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and NetApp SnapCenter based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"The central pane view is the most valuable feature. You have one console where you can monitor all your jobs, as opposed to going to different vCenters."
"Technical support has been very helpful when we have issues."
"It's a centralized, easy-to-use solution empowering RBAC management, monitoring, notifications, extensive logging, and backup schedules for standalone as well as groups of the same types of environments. The cloning capabilities accelerate development."
"The centralized GUI is the best feature, that there is only one webpage where we can see the states of all the backup jobs. We can see all the tasks that are running and we can quickly see if one fails; if they are running or have any issues. We have all that in one place."
"It has greatly improved our DR activity."
"The most valuable feature is that it's centralized. In the old SnapManager days, we had software for each server. Now, with a centralized system, we're able to manage all systems remotely, and all agents remotely, and update them remotely. That's a huge benefit for us."
"I like the instant backups and recovery feature that SnapCenter provides within NetApp storage systems."
"The Exchange plugin is the most valuable because we have a lot of customers that use SnapManager Exchange and have to migrate to SnapCenter."
"The reporting can be improved."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"It does not delete locked files."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"The GUI is still so-so. I' don't use the GUI that often anymore because it's really slow, refreshing disks, refreshing hosts, and you have to click a lot."
"We have hundreds of servers and systems and hundreds of customers and they're separated in a multi-tenancy way in NetApp SVM. Right now, the problem is that it always scan all SVMs. If I backup Customer A, it scans all SVMs, or tries to scan all SVMs, if there is a backup relationship on the storage. But it doesn't have the permissions, so we run into timeouts or the backup just takes too long. They're fixing that in the upcoming release..."
"Since the solution's initial setup is complex, it should make training documents available in the public space."
"The compatibility with other manufacturers, like Oracle and Hyper-V, could be improved. I would like to see it be more compatible with other software."
"The replication feature needs improvement in future releases."
"The UI, the User Interface, needs to be improved. It's not as clean or modern as it could be."
"Plugins should be developed in shorter times. Performance generally could be a little bit faster."
"I would like to see replication support between systems. Right now, it's kind of limited. We manage them separately from the storage system interface, not from SnapCenter. It would be nice if it was integrated into SnapCenter."
