Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"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."
"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 extra protection, especially for the backup."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"The licensing model is very good."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"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 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."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"The stability is excellent."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression and the Data Domain Boost."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"Installation and deployment for this product need improvement. These processes need to made easier. Currently, it's not an easy installation for customers. This product needs to be installed by professionals."
"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"We have some problems with backing up on the Power Platform. PowerServer is an IBM product, and it forces us to back up over LAN, which is not suitable for us."
