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 most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"The pricing is fine."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"The setup is very easy."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"What we find most valuable in Micro Focus Data Protector is that it provides Japanese data protection, for example, it protects information such as the full Japanese name, address, etc."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"The most valuable features of this solution were the features we worked most with which were telemetry, and the scheduler."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"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."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking."
"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."
"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."
"Micro Focus Data Protector must improve its overall evolution record. They need to focus on hardware based instant recovery, client recovery, and cloud ability. Now there is no cloud ability."
"We have a lot of requests for the Micro Focus team, particularly in terms of the Japanese data pattern, as it's not as good now. The Japanese data pattern accuracy of the Micro Focus Data Protector needs to be improved because there are a lot of false negatives and false positives. We are currently testing this and our product team has been communicating with the Micro Focus team."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
