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."Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"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."
"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"I like the core backup feature. I also like the file server backup feature. I find Microsoft DPM interesting because it has fantastic integration with Microsoft products. For example, in Exchange and SharePoint, DPM is excellent when it comes to backing up data. It also does a decent job with open-source products."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."
"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"We would always support better pricing."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"It does not delete locked files."
"The reporting can be improved."
"It needs portability for other vendors. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers, but it doesn't support third-party solutions such as Oracle Database. It depends on Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy, especially for Hyper-V, which has a lot of problems. They should enhance the Volume Shadow Copy functionality. Its reporting should also be better. Reporting is too weak in DPM."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
