Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"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."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"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 product, a disk backup solution, improves our data application tasks. We used tape libraries with Dev drives in legacy architectures, resulting in slow backups compared to modern drives like NVMe and SSDs. By transitioning to NVMe and SSDs, backups have become much faster. The tool's backup restoration is faster compared to other tools."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"The stability is excellent."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"We would always support better pricing."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"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."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"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."
"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."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"The pricing could be lower."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"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 firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"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."
"The price of the product is high."
"The price could be improved."
