We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"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 tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"The stability is excellent."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"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 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."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"The support and documentation must 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."
"It does not delete locked files."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"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."
"DD Boost."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
