We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Dell PowerProtect Data Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward."
"It's the perfect solution for virtual and container directives. The data reduction feature works well, and we haven't had any issues."
"I would say flexibility is the most important feature of the product. The performance and speed are the best on the market."
"The deduplication is the most valuable feature because it helps to control the overhead."
"One notable feature is its robust backup support for Kubernetes and container environments. Additionally, PPDM stands out for its ease of deployment and management compared to other backup solutions. It is highly user-friendly, allowing users to quickly learn and implement backup and restore processes within a week. PPDM represents the next generation of backup software and is comparable to offerings from other vendors. Furthermore, PPDM prioritizes security with various access controls, such as user and database access controls. Its deployment tool is also known for its simplicity."
"Dell EMC PowerProtect Data Manager is user-friendly and easy to use. it does what it needs to do."
"The solution adequately handles data storage."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"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."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"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."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"The Dell EMC PowerProtect Data Manager reports could improve. There should be different kinds of reports on failures, such as dashboards that we can submit to top management or auditors."
"There is always room for improvement. The compression ratio should be improved as well as the efficiency."
"As a new product, there are some things that still need to improve a bit as it matures."
"The interface is too complex."
"A lot of improvement is required in Dell's first level of support."
"They should include a feature similar to S3 bucket."
"PPDM requires further development. It is primarily integrated with DevOps systems."
"You need to use additional software to back up entire environments. It will be good if they could support entire tape libraries."
