Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"It gives us tons of flexibility. We can create new machines, then destroy them if they don't work out. We test a lot of use cases that may or may not play out. We can build all types of scenarios into virtual machines that we may or may not use. If we don't use them, we just turn them off, no using up resources."
"With VxRail, we can manage the life cycle of a virtual machine."
"The solution is perfect for the lifecycle management of hardware."
"The most valuable features are ease of management and ease of applying updates."
"VxRail has high performance and has great efficiency. There is a single place for us to manage all of our virtual machines. The ability to right-size instead of overcommit VMs is a large benefit."
"This is a good solution for medium-sized installations especially when it will be coupled with VMware."
"The solution is stable and reliable. This is one of the main reasons why we purchased this solution."
"Valuable features for us are the VDI, UCC, and HCI."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"The reporting can be improved."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"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."
"Its price could be better."
"The licensing costs are too expensive. They should work on their pricing model."
"We do not use the storage part of VxRail, we use Pure Storage to map out the VxRail because the disk performance from Pure Storage was far better than the performance of the disk on the inside of VxRail."
"The implementation of a VxRail, it's straightforward, but the ongoing utilization, and integration, are where it can start to become difficult if you're not used to doing it."
"VxRail is a closed system with an out-of-the -box solution approach, it has basic 3 layers, Hardware, Network, Storage, Software, (Virtualizing) Applications. Release notes and improvement tips, patches from the back office, the business units, should be frequent and up to the patches which are coming from different vendors as far as the operating system application and also the technology itself is concerned."
"It might offer better integration with other products."
"You have to buy a new server if you want to scale up."
"I would love to see license migration from one host to another."
