We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Dell Data Protection Advisor 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."Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"The ability to clone backups."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"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."
"The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"The platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention."
"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 reporting feature and the Dell's continuous improvement of the solution are the most valuable features. The solution not only supports Dell Power Products but also other products."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"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."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"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."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"The pricing 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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing."
"It's a bit difficult for first-time users."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
