Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"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."
"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."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression and the Data Domain Boost."
"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."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"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."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"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."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"It does not delete locked files."
"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."
"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."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"The price of the product is high."
"The initial setup is complex."
