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."The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We would always support better pricing."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"It needs portability for other vendors. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers, but it doesn't support third-party solutions such as Oracle Database. It depends on Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy, especially for Hyper-V, which has a lot of problems. They should enhance the Volume Shadow Copy functionality. Its reporting should also be better. Reporting is too weak in DPM."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with open source and competitor products. In the next release, I would like to see some data governance frameworks. It should have support features for data integration and data replication like Veeam. Right now, we are also using Veeam for certain scenarios."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
