Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"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."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"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."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"It is secure, reliable, and has officer support."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"The solution can scale up to one petabyte right now. It's very good for enterprise-level organizations."
"Dell PowerProtect DD is a stable solution."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"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."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"It does not delete locked files."
"Because Acronis Backup is an on-premises solution, there is extra overhead. It's harder to manage, and there's no real remote access. You have to physically log in to the machine to manage it. The reporting feature works fine, and you will be able to send out reports. However, that is where it stops. The deployment could be improved and could be through a network chain. If we need to deploy two machines that are not connected to the internet but connected to two different networks, it would be great to have a machine with dual mix that has access to the backup server and to those machines. It would be like a relay that you can install on the machine with a two-mix, and that machine can then connect to your backup server and to the other machines. You should be able to see the other machines on that network and be able to deploy to it and push jobs to it."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"The price of the product is high."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"The pricing could be lower."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
