Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"Virtual Machine Recovery during DR situation, with automation and easy to use menus and options."
"The solution can be deployed in a couple of hours."
"The UI is very user-friendly and testing is easy."
"The replication is the solution's most valuable feature. If we have some issues on the VM in the main site we can migrate it to another site automatically."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Nutanix environment."
"VMware SRM is very effective between two sites with identical twin storage, you can have synchronization between the two sites."
"It made the DR process a lot faster and easier for recovery after we were familiar with the product operation."
"We find the back up feature of this solution to be particularly valuable."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"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."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"I would like to see this solution be more scalable."
"The interface is not easy to use and can be made more user-friendly."
"In general, the drawbacks of VMware SRM, where improvements can be made, stem from the fact that it is an expensive and complex product."
"The solution could improve by removing some of the limitations we have been facing. There could be better integrated."
"What I think can be improved is the data replication aspect."
"We have had an issue when some customers have traditional designs and sites. For example, on one another site, they are using hyper-converged, using VMware, or Nutanix. We have a problem with the synchronization between the storage for site to site. This is the main issue. We are adding some other tools to support the synchronization to allow the movement of the workload from site to site easily."
"I would like to see better integration with other storage solutions. I would hope to see that within the next two or three years."
"The price, in general, could be lower."
