"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"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 is very scalable."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are its deduplication feature and its DD Boost protocol for fast transfer, which is amazing."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"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."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"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 solution's reporting feature could be better."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"We would always support better pricing."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"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."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"Dell EMC Data Domain needs to have better compatibility between NetWorker and the hardware. NetWorker is not as good as the other products which are currently on the market like Backup Exec."
"The downside of PowerProtect's flexibility is that you have so many options. It can be a little confusing. It's like having a car with too many buttons on the dash. You can do so much with it, but it takes some time to learn what everything does."
"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
"The price could be improved."
"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
