Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."
"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"The most valuable features of Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are the duplication security and uptime."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"Dell PowerProtect DD is a stable solution."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of this product are its guaranteed reliability and its duplication capability."
"The solution is very scalable."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"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."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"The reporting can be improved."
"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 software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"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."
