Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"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."
"The licensing model is very good."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"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."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"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's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"Dell PowerProtect DD is a stable solution."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"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."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"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."
"We would always support better pricing."
"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."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"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."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"Its management can be improved."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"Looking at Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), there is a need for improvement, especially in terms of protection from cyber resiliency, cyber recovery, or man-in-the-middle attacks."
"The pricing should be adjusted. Customers continuously talk about the price. They know it is a good solution and they really need the type of storage the solution offers, but it costs somewhere around $100,000 and up. It's not cheap, but it's very important for data vendors."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"The pricing could be lower."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
