"The licensing model is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"It has simple buying options and deployments. You can buy on-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions. Acronis Backup is very easy to deploy. It also does not consume much hardware. The administrator's tasks are very simple. It is very user friendly, and it also has good security features with low-level encryption and data encryption."
"The stability is excellent."
"As our organization functions, we have a total of 2500+ primary sites and 6300+ secondary sites. All of our entire backup systems are totally dependent on this product. EMC Data Domain is very reliable and there are no issues using it since 2015."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"Data Domain is an excellent repository that's compatible with a lot of different solutions. Even Veeam Backup recommends sending backup to Data Domain. Space optimization is great. Currently, it guarantees 50-to-1 compression of the application in the same device. In all these years, I never had a client who was unsatisfied with Data Domain. It is a solid appliance with VMware integration, instant access to restore and search, and analytics."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"It is secure, reliable, and has officer support."

"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"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."
"It could be more secure."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
