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."Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"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."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The product, a disk backup solution, improves our data application tasks. We used tape libraries with Dev drives in legacy architectures, resulting in slow backups compared to modern drives like NVMe and SSDs. By transitioning to NVMe and SSDs, backups have become much faster. The tool's backup restoration is faster compared to other tools."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"It is secure, reliable, and has officer support."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"The most valuable features of Dell PowerProtect DD are ease of use and deduplication."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"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."
"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."
"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."
"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"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."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"Dell EMC Data Domain needs to have better compatibility between NetWorker and the hardware. NetWorker is not as good as the other products which are currently on the market like Backup Exec."
