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."Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"The pricing is fine."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Data Protector is quite simple and easy to deploy. The deployment is always the same. It's on a server, and the agents are deployed to the machines in a straightforward way. We have two engineers who deploy and manage all our backup solutions."
"The solution allows us to be able to backup and exchange directly, to backup Microsoft exchange."
"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 solution is easy to use."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"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."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"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 product needs to have a simple DR process."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
"The product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"This solution is not scalable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups."
