Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"It is truly a hyper-converged infrastructure, so everything is there together."
"It gives us tons of flexibility. We can create new machines, then destroy them if they don't work out. We test a lot of use cases that may or may not play out. We can build all types of scenarios into virtual machines that we may or may not use. If we don't use them, we just turn them off, no using up resources."
"It supports VDI deployment, enabling easy use for running different platforms in similar environments."
"The support has been excellent, especially if you compare it to IBM."
"We deploy VxRail systems to provide our customers with a distributed information solution. The customer was impressed because we delivered a serious data reduction. For example, we showed them that 10 terabytes on their traditional storage solution could be reduced to 1.5 terabytes in the VxRail systems. That's why the customers also like it so much,"
"VxRail alleviates the operational constraints within an organization."
"The initial setup is simple."
"VxRail has improved out organization because we are trying to be a little more proactive and elastic. We are trying to change our conventional approach to development."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"Dell wants to implement the disaster site in the new year, but they haven't decided yet. I hope we will have the opportunity to sell VxRail with this disaster site. It is not really clear at the moment, but hopefully, we will get some good news from the customers in the new year."
"I wish for the performance environment to be improved."
"The solution is vendor-locked and Dell is the only supplier of VxRail."
"I would like to see VxRail add duplication features to its hybrid solution."
"The licensing is a bit too costly."
"The solution could improve by having more storage performance because in some other solutions you can have a file system that can be mounted at several places at one time."
"Supply chain capabilities are certainly hurting us. We're in the process of placing a large order for more VxRail nodes right now."
"It would be an improvement if VxRail could be integrated with some other hypervisors and not just with VMware."
