Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"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."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"I like the different features. We work closely with Dell on different products and features, which is why we use them all."
"PowerProtect is a flexible solution that you can cover various cloud and on-premise environments."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the integrated deduplication function."
"Dell PowerProtect DD’s most valuable feature is data deduplication."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"The feature that I have found most useful is its data duplication."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"Installation and deployment for this product need improvement. These processes need to made easier. Currently, it's not an easy installation for customers. This product needs to be installed by professionals."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"We would like faster instant recovery."
"It helps if you have in-depth knowledge in order to use it correctly."
"The firmware upgrades could be simplified. I'm in the process of struggling to upgrade right now."
