Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"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 interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"The pricing is fine."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"Dell PowerProtect DD is a stable solution."
"The most important feature is the level of data compression provided by Dell EMC. It's a leader in data compression and deduplication, and the level of compression isn't available with any other vendors in the market."
"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."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"It is a stable solution."
"The product, a disk backup solution, improves our data application tasks. We used tape libraries with Dev drives in legacy architectures, resulting in slow backups compared to modern drives like NVMe and SSDs. By transitioning to NVMe and SSDs, backups have become much faster. The tool's backup restoration is faster compared to other tools."
"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."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"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."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"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."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"The initial setup is complex."
"DD Boost."
"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."
"They need to make migration easier."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"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."
