Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."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."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"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."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"The solution can scale up to one petabyte right now. It's very good for enterprise-level organizations."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"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."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"It does not delete locked files."
"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."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"The pricing could be lower."
"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 usage of this solution is a bit difficult to develop processes, and it takes a long time to market permits."
"The price could be improved."
"It could be more secure."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
