Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"The ability to clone backups."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"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 solution is very scalable."
"We have never had any issues with Data Domain. It has been stable."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"It does not delete locked files."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"The price of the product is high."
"Data Domain lacks compatibility with fiber channels and tapes. We can't use it with a tape library. That's an issue in Latin America sometimes because a lot of clients still use tapes for budget reasons. Maybe they have a lot of archives. In North America and Europe, they do a lot of archiving, but they use the cloud more than we do. Sometimes we have to put together a Frankenstein where we connect another server to the tape library and send all the data there."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
