We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."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."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"The ability to clone backups."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"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."
"The solution is very scalable."
"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 most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"It does not delete locked files."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"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."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"They need to make migration easier."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
