Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"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 features of this product are its guaranteed reliability and its duplication capability."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The most important feature is the level of data compression provided by Dell EMC. It's a leader in data compression and deduplication, and the level of compression isn't available with any other vendors in the market."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"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."
"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."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"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."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"They need to make migration easier."
"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."
"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 pricing could be lower."
"The downside of PowerProtect's flexibility is that you have so many options. It can be a little confusing. It's like having a car with too many buttons on the dash. You can do so much with it, but it takes some time to learn what everything does."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"Its management can be improved."
