Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud 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."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"Dell PowerProtect DD is a stable solution."
"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 UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"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 usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"The price could be improved."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"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 licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"We have some problems with backing up on the Power Platform. PowerServer is an IBM product, and it forces us to back up over LAN, which is not suitable for us."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
