Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."It has simple buying options and deployments. You can buy on-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions. Acronis Backup is very easy to deploy. It also does not consume much hardware. The administrator's tasks are very simple. It is very user friendly, and it also has good security features with low-level encryption and data encryption."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the automatic recovery of the virtual machine if it goes down."
"This SRM solution can improve your footprint within a data center."
"It's very reliable. The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity of operations."
"The solution is scalable."
"Testing failover capabilities."
"VMware is one of the best products in the industry when it comes to virtualization."
"Automated recovery is one good feature, SRM also offers simplified management. It has a centralized interface for configuring, testing, and executing disaster recovery plans across multiple sites. This means management from a single point, even for many sites."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"The reporting can be improved."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"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."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"An improvement for SRM would be better interface compatibility with other products."
"We have had an issue when some customers have traditional designs and sites. For example, on one another site, they are using hyper-converged, using VMware, or Nutanix. We have a problem with the synchronization between the storage for site to site. This is the main issue. We are adding some other tools to support the synchronization to allow the movement of the workload from site to site easily."
"I would like to see this solution be more scalable."
"In my opinion, the integration with Peer Persistent Storage could be improved."
"SRM may hit some OS issues related to IP changes, but they are usually OS related, especially in the 2008 realm."
"Currently, there is a limitation of consolidating only 15 sites per SRM."
"Timing issues arise due to replication lags in multiple areas. When this happens, we encounter errors."
"VMware SRM's platform agnostics should support on-cloud usage as well."
