Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."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."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"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 has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"The solution is very stable."
"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."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is expensive. Also, it has a sort of a big physical footprint that data domains have, and that's part of the problem."
"It could be more secure."
"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."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"DD Boost."
