We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and OpenText Data Protector based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"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."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you understand Data Protector."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention."
"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 command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"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."
"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..."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"The new backup systems are using new mechanisms for the recovery phases; for example, VM, recovery and testing the backup before recovering it. These features are not available in Data Protector."
"The product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking."
"In general, you can say that Micro Focus Data Protector is behind in capabilities when compared with other backup solutions, such as Commvault, Symantec, NetBackup, but it is very strong for certain use cases such as array integration. We are using it in production even now. There should be some kind of cloud integration and archiving solutions. I think this is the area they need to focus on."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated"
