Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"We have never had any issues with Data Domain. It has been stable."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"It is a stable solution."
"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 most valuable features of Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are the duplication security and uptime."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The pricing could be improved."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"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."
"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"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."
"It could be more secure."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"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."
"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."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
