"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"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."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you understand Data Protector."
"The solution is easy to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."
"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."
"I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"I'm uncertain if it supports virtual machine backup and restoration. If they could enhance this aspect, they could gain more support from end users."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy 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."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
"Micro Focus are improving Data Protector with every new version and since we began undergoing training with the latest version we have not faced any real challenges yet. However, their support does need to be improved, in my opinion. In certain critical cases that we've had, they did not provide a satisfactory level of support."
"The technical support was very slow."
