Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"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."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"It is secure, reliable, and has officer support."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"It is a stable solution."
"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"The solution is very stable."
"Data Domain is an excellent repository that's compatible with a lot of different solutions. Even Veeam Backup recommends sending backup to Data Domain. Space optimization is great. Currently, it guarantees 50-to-1 compression of the application in the same device. In all these years, I never had a client who was unsatisfied with Data Domain. It is a solid appliance with VMware integration, instant access to restore and search, and analytics."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"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."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"The price of the product is high."
"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."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
