Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The setup is very easy."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"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."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"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."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The stability is excellent."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"We have never had any issues with Data Domain. It has been stable."
"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."
"We would always support better pricing."
"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."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"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."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"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."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"The pricing could be lower."
"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."
"The downside of PowerProtect's flexibility is that you have so many options. It can be a little confusing. It's like having a car with too many buttons on the dash. You can do so much with it, but it takes some time to learn what everything does."
"The size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
