Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The low latency and response times and having a virtualized environment within a single computer are valuable. I have no physical elements, and I can optimize or balance my data depending on the sales volume that I have in a specific store."
"One beneficial feature is that the solution can handle complex environments."
"VxRail performs well in the VDI environment."
"For me, VxRail's most valuable feature is its life-cycle management."
"VxRail is very cost-effective and affordable in the long term. It is more recommended when it comes to financial life, but it may depend upon the license. VxRail comes with VMware licensing, which may not be that cost-effective as compared to others. With VMware, it's an auto check competition. VMware is an expensive solution, especially for Nutanix. Nutanix have their own hypervisor called Acronis, which is very cost-effective against the VMware. Nutanix is cheaper for the hardware but not for the software. If you ask the Nutanix partners to deploy Nutanix over Cisco servers or Dell EMC servers, the cost will be higher. Nutanix wants to compete financially. Therefore, they propose their software over the Supermicro server, which is a very cheap Chinese server. In fact, I don't like their terms of service. HyperFlex has the highest price, and it is very expensive. I don't know why. It may be because this is a UCS system, which comes from Cisco and is already expensive. When it comes to HyperFlex, they need the labor to deploy Hyper-V, Citrix, or any other hypervisor."
"It supports VDI deployment, enabling easy use for running different platforms in similar environments."
"The initial setup was not complex."
"I like that there is a dependency on the storage controller."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"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."
"We do not use the storage part of VxRail, we use Pure Storage to map out the VxRail because the disk performance from Pure Storage was far better than the performance of the disk on the inside of VxRail."
"The solution is okay to scale vertically but a bit difficult to expend horizontally. For example, increasing RAM."
"It would be nice if the update process was shortened and that patching would be simpler."
"You have to buy a new server if you want to scale up."
"The technical support is good but could be better."
"At present, VxRail is a hyperconverged state of the art product being installed in a legacy way. We need hyperconverged install teams."
"VxRail could improve by having domain protection."
"The tool needs to improve its price."
