Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"The pricing is fine."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"The most valuable features of Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are the duplication security and uptime."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"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 feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"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."
"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."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"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 would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"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."
"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 product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"Dell EMC Data Domain needs to have better compatibility between NetWorker and the hardware. NetWorker is not as good as the other products which are currently on the market like Backup Exec."
"Looking at Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), there is a need for improvement, especially in terms of protection from cyber resiliency, cyber recovery, or man-in-the-middle attacks."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
