"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."

"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"It's very competitive in terms of the price and technology. Also, the development team continuously makes updates. The data reduction feature is very useful."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"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."
"Dell PowerProtect DD is a stable solution."
"The solution can scale up to one petabyte right now. It's very good for enterprise-level organizations."
"It is very fast as compared to the other competitors. Its simplicity and bit rate are also valuable. It takes less time if we compare it with the old solution that we have."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"They need to make migration easier."
"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."
"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."
"They're scalable."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
