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."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"It has simple buying options and deployments. You can buy on-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions. Acronis Backup is very easy to deploy. It also does not consume much hardware. The administrator's tasks are very simple. It is very user friendly, and it also has good security features with low-level encryption and data encryption."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"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 tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"The most valuable features of Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are the duplication security and uptime."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"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."
"Dell PowerProtect DD is a stable solution."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"Because Acronis Backup is an on-premises solution, there is extra overhead. It's harder to manage, and there's no real remote access. You have to physically log in to the machine to manage it. The reporting feature works fine, and you will be able to send out reports. However, that is where it stops. The deployment could be improved and could be through a network chain. If we need to deploy two machines that are not connected to the internet but connected to two different networks, it would be great to have a machine with dual mix that has access to the backup server and to those machines. It would be like a relay that you can install on the machine with a two-mix, and that machine can then connect to your backup server and to the other machines. You should be able to see the other machines on that network and be able to deploy to it and push jobs to it."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"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."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"The size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"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."
"They need to make migration easier."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
