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 ability to clone backups."
"The pricing is fine."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"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."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"The most valuable features of this solution were the features we worked most with which were telemetry, and the scheduler."
"It's a good product that's pretty 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."
"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."
"The file system backup (by far, the most used) is the most valuable feature."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you understand Data Protector."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"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."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
"Other tools seem to be easier to use."
"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."
"The scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements."
"VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say integrations with MongoDB. We use MongoDB and we need to go to scripts to do backups. We need more integrations."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"It's very expensive compared to Veeam and other similar solutions."
