Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"The solution can scale up to one petabyte right now. It's very good for enterprise-level organizations."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"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."
"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 most valuable features are the deduplication and compression and the Data Domain Boost."
"Dell PowerProtect DD is a stable solution."
"The solution is very stable."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"We would always support better pricing."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"DD Boost."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"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 tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"The usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
