Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."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."
"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"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."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"It is secure, reliable, and has officer support."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression and the Data Domain Boost."
"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."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"I like Data Domain as a protocol for data backup."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"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..."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"We would always support better pricing."
"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."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"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."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
"The pricing model needs to be improved."
"They need to make migration easier."
