"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"It's very competitive in terms of the price and technology. Also, the development team continuously makes updates. The data reduction feature is very useful."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"Dell PowerProtect DD is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression and the Data Domain Boost."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"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 solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"Looking at Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), there is a need for improvement, especially in terms of protection from cyber resiliency, cyber recovery, or man-in-the-middle attacks."
"The pricing could be lower."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"The price of the product is high."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"They need to make migration easier."
