"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"The ability to clone backups."
"It's very competitive in terms of the price and technology. Also, the development team continuously makes updates. The data reduction feature is very useful."
"It is secure, reliable, and has officer support."
"The most valuable features of this product are its guaranteed reliability and its duplication capability."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."

"We have never had any issues with Data Domain. It has been stable."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"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."
"The reporting can be improved."
"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."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"When you use Data Domain, you have to have at least 20% free space so it can work properly. Sometimes we struggle with that, because we wanted to use all the free space, but then Data Domain becomes really slow. I understand that 20% is needed to process all the data, and doing the duplication and compression and all that, but it would be a big improvement if they did not require that 20%, because it is just too much to have available."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"The size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"They're scalable."
