"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."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"The most valuable features of this product are its guaranteed reliability and its duplication capability."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"The solution can scale up to one petabyte right now. It's very good for enterprise-level organizations."
"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."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"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."
"We would always support better pricing."
"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."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"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."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"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."
"Installation and deployment for this product need improvement. These processes need to made easier. Currently, it's not an easy installation for customers. This product needs to be installed by professionals."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"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."
