Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"The solution is very stable."
"The stability is excellent."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"Dell PowerProtect DD is a stable solution."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"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."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"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."
"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."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"They need to make migration easier."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
"The pricing could be lower."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"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."
