"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data."
"I like that it supports HPE UNIX servers since many backup solutions do not - this is the main reason why we chose this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Data Protector is its integration with VMware. A lot of software these days integrates with VMware, and you can run some of these things on virtual machines. You can even have your backup manager running on a virtual machine and use physical managers to move data around. Their VMware integration isn't too bad, but Commvault has that feature, and many other backup products do."
"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"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 biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"The online backups of Office 365 have room for improvement. This is now available for the Exchange Online part of Office 365, but we're still waiting for SharePoint Online, Teams, etc. We know that it's coming, but it takes time."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"We have so many specific technological cracks in Micro Focus, but we are not getting the features, facilities, or coordination between the global delivery centers and the R&D team that we need to express our ideas."
"Virtualization."
"We face challenges with its stability."
"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated"
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"We're not satisfied with the robustness and stability of the software since Micro Focus took it in-house. The GUI is one thing they could improve. It's still a bit archaic. Data Protector needs a more functional, user-friendly GUI."
