"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are reduplication and compression. It provides a lot of data savings for backups. Additionally, the Dell PowerProtect DD solution offers a bundled backup software and storage option. If desired, users can also connect to cloud technology to create an additional copy of their data in the cloud. This solution supports synchronization with various cloud vendors, including Azure and AWS."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"Dell PowerProtect DD is a stable solution."
"It is a stable solution."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"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."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"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."
"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."
"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"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."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"Installation and deployment for this product need improvement. These processes need to made easier. Currently, it's not an easy installation for customers. This product needs to be installed by professionals."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
