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."It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"The command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."
"Regarding scalability, it's unlimited with Data Protector. You can link multiple installations and let them work together. They can share backup devices. You have many possibilities with Data Protector. It's very proficient."
"I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data."
"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."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"The solution allows us to be able to backup and exchange directly, to backup Microsoft exchange."
"It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"It does not delete locked files."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"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."
"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"The scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"Many of our users complain about the GUI. You still need to rely on the command line interface. Because it originated as a Unix system, Data Protector is still a command line-driven solution, which makes it seem rather dated compared to systems that are built around a GUI from day one. It doesn't affect the functionality, but some people don't find it user-friendly."
"The technical support is poor and should be improved."
"In SAP restoration, we faced issues with changing the SIDs and changing the path for every backup object. It is quite a lengthy process to do that."
"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."
