"The solution is stable and reliable."
"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"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 normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."

"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."
"Integration with HP storage is a very strong point for Micro Focus Data Protector. It is the best solution for general operations like backup and restore. Zero downtime backup (ZDB) is one very important feature, which is basically the integration with the storage array. It is a very strong feature. We're using storage with snapshots with this integration."

"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."

"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."

"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"Virtualization."
"The scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements."
"Integration with the market applications must be improved, such as MS Exchange, MS Active Directory, SAP and Oracle. Other backup tools are more efficient with the integrated backups."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
"If you compare the solution with the same specific features and enhancements on another solution, Data Protector is expensive. This is especially true when compared to, for example, Veeam."
"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated"
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
"Other tools seem to be easier to use."
