Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"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."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"The stability is excellent."
"It is very fast as compared to the other competitors. Its simplicity and bit rate are also valuable. It takes less time if we compare it with the old solution that we have."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."
"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."
"The technology has been very useful. There are lots of features on offer."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"The pricing could be improved."
"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."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"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."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"Dell PowerProtect DD could improve by having better integration with other backup solutions."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"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."
"Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is expensive. Also, it has a sort of a big physical footprint that data domains have, and that's part of the problem."
"The only problem is that it's more expensive than any other vendors available in the market."
"Looking at Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain), there is a need for improvement, especially in terms of protection from cyber resiliency, cyber recovery, or man-in-the-middle attacks."
"First-time integrations are difficult in NetWorker. NetWorker software needs to be simplified. It's very complex."
