"The hardware can operate in high temperatures, in case of any disaster."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"Because Acronis Backup is an on-premises solution, there is extra overhead. It's harder to manage, and there's no real remote access. You have to physically log in to the machine to manage it. The reporting feature works fine, and you will be able to send out reports. However, that is where it stops. The deployment could be improved and could be through a network chain. If we need to deploy two machines that are not connected to the internet but connected to two different networks, it would be great to have a machine with dual mix that has access to the backup server and to those machines. It would be like a relay that you can install on the machine with a two-mix, and that machine can then connect to your backup server and to the other machines. You should be able to see the other machines on that network and be able to deploy to it and push jobs to it."
"The pricing should be adjusted. Customers continuously talk about the price. They know it is a good solution and they really need the type of storage the solution offers, but it costs somewhere around $100,000 and up. It's not cheap, but it's very important for data vendors."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"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."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"DD Boost."
