Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"The solution is very scalable."
"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."
"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."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"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 biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"We would always support better pricing."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"The size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"Looking at Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), there is a need for improvement, especially in terms of protection from cyber resiliency, cyber recovery, or man-in-the-middle attacks."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"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."
