Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"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."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"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."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"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."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"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."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"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."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"They need to make migration easier."
"The size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"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."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"They're scalable."
