Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"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."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"This is a stable solution."
"The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"The reporting feature and the Dell's continuous improvement of the solution are the most valuable features. The solution not only supports Dell Power Products but also other products."
"The solution is easy to use, flexible and has a lot of out-of-the-box functionality. You can configure the dashboards or you can use a script. However, to fully utilize its capabilities you will want to use a lot of scripts which you will need advanced training. The reports can be customized for many things, such as chargeback billing."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"It does not delete locked files."
"Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement."
"The solution requires more integration with our other solutions. I know that they have full integration with VMware because it is also from EMC. However, we have to have better integration with Microsoft and Nutanix as well."
"There is a steep learning curve to use the interface and to create new reports, this could be made easier. If the solution could provide more drag and drop functionality to build more advanced reports that would be very helpful."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
"It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing."
"It's a bit difficult for first-time users."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
