"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"The most valuable features of this product are its guaranteed reliability and its duplication capability."

"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."

"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"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."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"They're scalable."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"We have some problems with backing up on the Power Platform. PowerServer is an IBM product, and it forces us to back up over LAN, which is not suitable for us."
"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."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
