"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The licensing model is very good."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."

"The most valuable features of Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are the duplication security and uptime."

"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"The backup is very secure. The deduplication using EMC is very good. We are able to make systems and handle random cloning. EMC is a very stable solution for making backups."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"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."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"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."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"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."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"The price of the product is high."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"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."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"DD Boost."
