Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"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 most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system 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."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"The solution can scale up to one petabyte right now. It's very good for enterprise-level organizations."
"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."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"It is a stable solution."
"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 compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"It does not delete locked files."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"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."
"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."
"It could be more secure."
"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."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"Dell EMC Data Domain needs to have better compatibility between NetWorker and the hardware. NetWorker is not as good as the other products which are currently on the market like Backup Exec."
