Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"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."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The product, a disk backup solution, improves our data application tasks. We used tape libraries with Dev drives in legacy architectures, resulting in slow backups compared to modern drives like NVMe and SSDs. By transitioning to NVMe and SSDs, backups have become much faster. The tool's backup restoration is faster compared to other tools."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression and the Data Domain Boost."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"The pricing could be improved."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
"Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is expensive. Also, it has a sort of a big physical footprint that data domains have, and that's part of the problem."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"Dell EMC Data Domain needs to have better compatibility between NetWorker and the hardware. NetWorker is not as good as the other products which are currently on the market like Backup Exec."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"Technical support needs improvement."
