Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."
"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."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"The setup is very easy."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The stability is excellent."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"The solution is very scalable."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"It is very fast as compared to the other competitors. Its simplicity and bit rate are also valuable. It takes less time if we compare it with the old solution that we have."
"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"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."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"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."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"Data Domain lacks compatibility with fiber channels and tapes. We can't use it with a tape library. That's an issue in Latin America sometimes because a lot of clients still use tapes for budget reasons. Maybe they have a lot of archives. In North America and Europe, they do a lot of archiving, but they use the cloud more than we do. Sometimes we have to put together a Frankenstein where we connect another server to the tape library and send all the data there."
"Its management can be improved."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"The price of the product is high."
