Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"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."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"The most valuable features of Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are the duplication security and uptime."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of this product are its guaranteed reliability and its duplication capability."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are reduplication and compression. It provides a lot of data savings for backups. Additionally, the Dell PowerProtect DD solution offers a bundled backup software and storage option. If desired, users can also connect to cloud technology to create an additional copy of their data in the cloud. This solution supports synchronization with various cloud vendors, including Azure and AWS."
"It is secure, reliable, and has officer support."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"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."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"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."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"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."
"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."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"They need to make migration easier."
"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."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
