Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"The licensing model is very good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"Compared with other products, the IT administrator or IT integrator doesn't take much time to get the tool up and running."
"The major advantage is the blueprint. You do not need to separately manage the sand or network part because it all gets virtualized."
"It is the most valuable Software Defined Storage ever to manage all storage workloads, and also offers high availability."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that the storage is integrated with the VxRail so I don't have to go in between systems when I have to monitor my storage."
"like VxRail because it's fully integrated. The other hyperconverged solutions are also well integrated. They are all highly similar to each other in that regard. But we prefer VxRail for its physical integrations or lifecycle management. It also has vCenter, which integrates the hardware lifecycle management."
"The installation process is very quick. When you purchase it, it's up and running without much delay. Adding any additional components is simple, allowing for easy and fast scaling without adding complexity. The centralized management portal makes it easy to manage the entire system."
"Management of the hardware and software in one console is the most valuable feature. It's also compatible with vSAN."
"We have seen ROI using this solution. It has simplified the work of the staff that we have which allows us to do more work with the same number of people, without having to incrementally grow the staff. The reliability of the product has been exceptional."
"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."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"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."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"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 isn't scalable at all."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"Technically speaking, the vCenter and the administration of the integration of the vCenter could be improved."
"My customers want more storage for university databases."
"A more containerized approach in regards to the interface would be better."
"At present, VxRail is a hyperconverged state of the art product being installed in a legacy way. We need hyperconverged install teams."
"The price should come down a little bit. It has become better than it was at the beginning. There was a really big price difference between a hyper-converged infrastructure and the classic servers and storage. The gap is lessening, however, it's still there."
"There are still some features which aren't built into Cisco, like virtualized networking, that use its applications. However, these can be purchased through another product as an additional licensing cost to us."
"The solution should offer more integration with other virtual software. VxRail runs just with VMware, however, maybe it should integrate with Hyper-V or with KVM as well."
"Obtaining support was hindered by the frequent changes to the hotline numbers."
