We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."
"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"The solution can scale up to one petabyte right now. It's very good for enterprise-level organizations."
"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."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The most valuable features of this product are its guaranteed reliability and its duplication capability."
"It is a stable solution."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"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."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"The support and documentation must 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."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"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 problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"The price of the product is high."
"When you use Data Domain, you have to have at least 20% free space so it can work properly. Sometimes we struggle with that, because we wanted to use all the free space, but then Data Domain becomes really slow. I understand that 20% is needed to process all the data, and doing the duplication and compression and all that, but it would be a big improvement if they did not require that 20%, because it is just too much to have available."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
