Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"The pricing is fine."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"The stability is excellent."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"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 most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"It is very fast as compared to the other competitors. Its simplicity and bit rate are also valuable. It takes less time if we compare it with the old solution that we have."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"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 dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"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."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"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."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"Data Domain lacks compatibility with fiber channels and tapes. We can't use it with a tape library. That's an issue in Latin America sometimes because a lot of clients still use tapes for budget reasons. Maybe they have a lot of archives. In North America and Europe, they do a lot of archiving, but they use the cloud more than we do. Sometimes we have to put together a Frankenstein where we connect another server to the tape library and send all the data there."
"The pricing should be adjusted. Customers continuously talk about the price. They know it is a good solution and they really need the type of storage the solution offers, but it costs somewhere around $100,000 and up. It's not cheap, but it's very important for data vendors."
"DD Boost."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"The pricing could be lower."
