"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"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."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"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."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"The solution is very stable."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"Stable and scalable suite of solutions with deduplication, apart from data protection, storage, and backup."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"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."
"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."
"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."
"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."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"The size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"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."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"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 tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is expensive. Also, it has a sort of a big physical footprint that data domains have, and that's part of the problem."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
