Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"The licensing model is very good."
"It has simple buying options and deployments. You can buy on-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions. Acronis Backup is very easy to deploy. It also does not consume much hardware. The administrator's tasks are very simple. It is very user friendly, and it also has good security features with low-level encryption and data encryption."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are the duplication security and uptime."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"The reporting can be improved."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"We have some problems with backing up on the Power Platform. PowerServer is an IBM product, and it forces us to back up over LAN, which is not suitable for us."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"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."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"It could be more secure."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
