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."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"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 ability to clone backups."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The initial setup process for the solution is easy."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"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."
"The most valuable features of this solution were the features we worked most with which were telemetry, and the scheduler."
"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"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."
"The scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements."
"I do not think that this solution is relevant in the current IT market. They have not upgraded their features and functionalities which makes it difficult for them to remain competitive."
"I don't like this solution so much because it's very technical and compared to Commvault and Veeam, it's not so user-friendly. The interface needs improvement."
"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 has a lot of undeveloped functions like window searching and patent searching, and within the main backup processes like VMware and Microsoft Exchange. It's completely not user-friendly, and it has no built-in antivirus software. In my opinion, Micro Focus Data Protector is not an enterprise level solution."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
"OpenText Data Protector is more difficult to use and configure than OpenText VIM. The user-friendliness of OpenText Data Protector has to be increased, and the complexity of the tool needs to be reduced."
