"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"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 most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."

"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"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, 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 most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are reduplication and compression. It provides a lot of data savings for backups. Additionally, the Dell PowerProtect DD solution offers a bundled backup software and storage option. If desired, users can also connect to cloud technology to create an additional copy of their data in the cloud. This solution supports synchronization with various cloud vendors, including Azure and AWS."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"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 dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"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 pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"The price could be improved."
"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."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"It could be more secure."
