Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"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."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are its deduplication feature and its DD Boost protocol for fast transfer, which is amazing."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"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."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"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."
"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."
"DD Boost."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"The downside of PowerProtect's flexibility is that you have so many options. It can be a little confusing. It's like having a car with too many buttons on the dash. You can do so much with it, but it takes some time to learn what everything does."
