Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression and the Data Domain Boost."
"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."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"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."
"We have never had any issues with Data Domain. It has been stable."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"It does not delete locked files."
"Because Acronis Backup is an on-premises solution, there is extra overhead. It's harder to manage, and there's no real remote access. You have to physically log in to the machine to manage it. The reporting feature works fine, and you will be able to send out reports. However, that is where it stops. The deployment could be improved and could be through a network chain. If we need to deploy two machines that are not connected to the internet but connected to two different networks, it would be great to have a machine with dual mix that has access to the backup server and to those machines. It would be like a relay that you can install on the machine with a two-mix, and that machine can then connect to your backup server and to the other machines. You should be able to see the other machines on that network and be able to deploy to it and push jobs to it."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
"Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is expensive. Also, it has a sort of a big physical footprint that data domains have, and that's part of the problem."
"Its management can be improved."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
