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."The solution is stable and reliable."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"I can increase the tool's licensing as per my requirement with no conditions applied."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"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."
"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."
"It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"This is a stable solution."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"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."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"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 reporting can be improved."
"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."
"Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"It's a bit difficult for first-time users."
"The functionality of the Data Protection Advisor is limited and is something that is lacking in this solution. Other solutions like CloudIQ and DDMC provide a much better outlook on how data protection should be done."
"Customization of reports or creating new reports can be difficult. Users need to have a deep knowledge of SQL. 70-80% of customers can't seem to understand how to do it. They don't know how to address reporting. If Dell EMC could simplify it, it would benefit the end-user."
"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."
