Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."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."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"As our organization functions, we have a total of 2500+ primary sites and 6300+ secondary sites. All of our entire backup systems are totally dependent on this product. EMC Data Domain is very reliable and there are no issues using it since 2015."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution can scale up to one petabyte right now. It's very good for enterprise-level organizations."
"It is secure, reliable, and has officer support."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"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."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"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."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"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."
"They need to make migration easier."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"The price could be improved."
