Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"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."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"It is secure, reliable, and has officer support."
"It is a stable solution."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"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."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"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."
"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 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."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is expensive. Also, it has a sort of a big physical footprint that data domains have, and that's part of the problem."
"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."
"The price of the product is high."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"Data Domain lacks compatibility with fiber channels and tapes. We can't use it with a tape library. That's an issue in Latin America sometimes because a lot of clients still use tapes for budget reasons. Maybe they have a lot of archives. In North America and Europe, they do a lot of archiving, but they use the cloud more than we do. Sometimes we have to put together a Frankenstein where we connect another server to the tape library and send all the data there."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
