Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"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."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"It is a very stable solution."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"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."
"We have never had any issues with Data Domain. It has been stable."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression and the Data Domain Boost."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"The reporting can be improved."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"It could be more secure."
"They need to make migration easier."
"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."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"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."
