Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The ability to clone backups."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during 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 solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"As our organization functions, we have a total of 2500+ primary sites and 6300+ secondary sites. All of our entire backup systems are totally dependent on this product. EMC Data Domain is very reliable and there are no issues using it since 2015."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are its deduplication feature and its DD Boost protocol for fast transfer, which is amazing."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"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."
"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."
"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."
"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."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"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."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"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."
"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
"They're scalable."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
