Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"The pricing is fine."
"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."
"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 feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"The most important feature is the level of data compression provided by Dell EMC. It's a leader in data compression and deduplication, and the level of compression isn't available with any other vendors in the market."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"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."
"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."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"The pricing could be lower."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"Installation and deployment for this product need improvement. These processes need to made easier. Currently, it's not an easy installation for customers. This product needs to be installed by professionals."
"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."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"The price could be improved."
