Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"The pricing is fine."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"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 licensing model is very good."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"The solution can scale up to one petabyte right now. It's very good for enterprise-level organizations."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"The backup is very secure. The deduplication using EMC is very good. We are able to make systems and handle random cloning. EMC is a very stable solution for making backups."
"The solution is very stable."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"The solution is very scalable."
"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."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"It could be more secure."
"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."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"The size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"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."
