Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"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."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"The stability is excellent."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"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."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"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."
"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."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"The downside of PowerProtect's flexibility is that you have so many options. It can be a little confusing. It's like having a car with too many buttons on the dash. You can do so much with it, but it takes some time to learn what everything does."
"Its management can be improved."
