Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud 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."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"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."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"Short backup window has made a difference in the way my organization functions."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication and compression and the Data Domain Boost."
"It's very competitive in terms of the price and technology. Also, the development team continuously makes updates. The data reduction feature is very useful."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"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 valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"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 needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"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."
"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."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"They're scalable."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
