Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"Dell owns the EMC, EMC owns VMware, and there are many other interconnections throughout the industry which allows a fully integrated solution from a technical perspective."
"The update process is very convenient."
"VxRail's technical support is very good."
"It's very easy to upgrade."
"The feature that I have found most valuable with VxRail is its upgrade. Because if you talk about the normal ESX process you have to upgrade the firmware, the bios, and you have to manage the compatibility. You have to do a lot of things. But in the case of VxRail, it's a single upgrade, end to end. You simply upload the bundle, click next, it will do some pre-checks, if those pre-checks pass, it will update everything one by one. It will put one ESX in the maintenance and move other VM's to another mode. There is no downtime to the VM's."
"The pricing is very, very good."
"VxRail simplifies IT infrastructure management by providing a single management console for compute, storage, and network. The second advantage is that VxRail offers a continuously validated architecture from the OEM. This means that Dell thoroughly tests all firmware updates before being released or installed on the product, helping to prevent compatibility issues. The third benefit is its ten-year roadmap. Dell consistently announces a roadmap for the product spanning the next decade."
"VxRail has high performance and has great efficiency. There is a single place for us to manage all of our virtual machines. The ability to right-size instead of overcommit VMs is a large benefit."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"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."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"I would like it to tier to the cloud effectively, making sure that cold data can be pushed out to some sort of Bitbucket."
"Sometimes during implementation, you can some scripting errors. And there are some issues when we update the version. There are some issues like the version will not get updated or stable at some time. Dell needs to resolve these problems, we don't waste time fixing them."
"I would like to see more solutions for satellite capabilities where we can put it into smaller locations and still have the redundancy that we have with a larger cluster."
"Having a native replication would be an improvement."
"I would like better integration with VCF from VMware, which is the Cloud Foundation tool set, so we can easily provision servers very quickly."
"The solution is vendor-locked and Dell is the only supplier of VxRail."
"It's not really flexible with different use cases."
"Lacks integration of licenses so that it's an expensive solution."
