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 licensing model is very good."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"The installation was simple and provided an easy way to install even on Unix servers. It has excellent features like deduplication."
"The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."
"The command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."
"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."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"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."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"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 product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"We face challenges with its stability."
"It's very expensive compared to Veeam and other similar solutions."
"We have so many specific technological cracks in Micro Focus, but we are not getting the features, facilities, or coordination between the global delivery centers and the R&D team that we need to express our ideas."
"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."
"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."
