Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis 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."
"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."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"The solution is very stable."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"As our organization functions, we have a total of 2500+ primary sites and 6300+ secondary sites. All of our entire backup systems are totally dependent on this product. EMC Data Domain is very reliable and there are no issues using it since 2015."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"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."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"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 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."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"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."
"We have some problems with backing up on the Power Platform. PowerServer is an IBM product, and it forces us to back up over LAN, which is not suitable for us."
"They need to make migration easier."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"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."
"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."
"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."
