Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."It has simple buying options and deployments. You can buy on-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions. Acronis Backup is very easy to deploy. It also does not consume much hardware. 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."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"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."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"The most important feature is the level of data compression provided by Dell EMC. It's a leader in data compression and deduplication, and the level of compression isn't available with any other vendors in the market."
"9900 has around 1.5 petabits of capacity in a single rack, and that's huge."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"It is stable. I would rate the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"The reporting can be improved."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"We would always support better pricing."
"They're scalable."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"The price of the product is high."
"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."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
