Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"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 feature is its consistency."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"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."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"The solution can scale up to one petabyte right now. It's very good for enterprise-level organizations."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"Its management can be improved."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"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 only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"The price of the product is high."
"The size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
