The administrator's tasks are very simple. It is very user friendly, and it also has good security features with low-level encryption and data encryption."
"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."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"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."
"I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"The solution is very stable."
"The stability is excellent."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are reduplication and compression. It provides a lot of data savings for backups. Additionally, the Dell PowerProtect DD solution offers a bundled backup software and storage option. If desired, users can also connect to cloud technology to create an additional copy of their data in the cloud. This solution supports synchronization with various cloud vendors, including Azure and AWS."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"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."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"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."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"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 size and scale of the product are limited and could be improved."
"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
