"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."

"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"Data Domain is an excellent repository that's compatible with a lot of different solutions. Even Veeam Backup recommends sending backup to Data Domain. Space optimization is great. Currently, it guarantees 50-to-1 compression of the application in the same device. In all these years, I never had a client who was unsatisfied with Data Domain. It is a solid appliance with VMware integration, instant access to restore and search, and analytics."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"It's very competitive in terms of the price and technology. Also, the development team continuously makes updates. The data reduction feature is very useful."
"The solution can scale up to one petabyte right now. It's very good for enterprise-level organizations."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"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."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"It could be more secure."
"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 usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
