Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"The most valuable features of Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are the duplication security and uptime."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"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."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"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."
"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."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"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."
"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."
"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 firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"Data Domain lacks compatibility with fiber channels and tapes. We can't use it with a tape library. That's an issue in Latin America sometimes because a lot of clients still use tapes for budget reasons. Maybe they have a lot of archives. In North America and Europe, they do a lot of archiving, but they use the cloud more than we do. Sometimes we have to put together a Frankenstein where we connect another server to the tape library and send all the data there."
"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."
"It could be more secure."
"The price could be improved."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
