Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"The setup is very easy."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"The most important feature is the level of data compression provided by Dell EMC. It's a leader in data compression and deduplication, and the level of compression isn't available with any other vendors in the market."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"As our organization functions, we have a total of 2500+ primary sites and 6300+ secondary sites. All of our entire backup systems are totally dependent on this product. EMC Data Domain is very reliable and there are no issues using it since 2015."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Dell EMC PowerProtect DD are its deduplication feature and its DD Boost protocol for fast transfer, which is amazing."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"It is very fast as compared to the other competitors. Its simplicity and bit rate are also valuable. It takes less time if we compare it with the old solution that we have."
"This is a superior and reliable backup system that can handle large capacities with little management."
"The most valuable feature is the performance because you can back up data really quickly."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"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."
"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."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"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."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"When you use Data Domain, you have to have at least 20% free space so it can work properly. Sometimes we struggle with that, because we wanted to use all the free space, but then Data Domain becomes really slow. I understand that 20% is needed to process all the data, and doing the duplication and compression and all that, but it would be a big improvement if they did not require that 20%, because it is just too much to have available."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"Its management can be improved."
"The downside of PowerProtect's flexibility is that you have so many options. It can be a little confusing. It's like having a car with too many buttons on the dash. You can do so much with it, but it takes some time to learn what everything does."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."
