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."All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"The pricing is fine."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"I can increase the tool's licensing as per my requirement with no conditions applied."
"The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"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."
"This is a stable solution."
"It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"It generates very detailed reports, which makes things easier when it comes to IT auditing."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"The platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"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."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement."
"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."
"It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing."
"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 stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
