Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"The setup is very easy."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"It is very fast as compared to the other competitors. Its simplicity and bit rate are also valuable. It takes less time if we compare it with the old solution that we have."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"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."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"The price could be improved."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"The pricing should be adjusted. Customers continuously talk about the price. They know it is a good solution and they really need the type of storage the solution offers, but it costs somewhere around $100,000 and up. It's not cheap, but it's very important for data vendors."
"They're scalable."
"The downside of PowerProtect's flexibility is that you have so many options. It can be a little confusing. It's like having a car with too many buttons on the dash. You can do so much with it, but it takes some time to learn what everything does."
"They need to make migration easier."
