"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"It has simple buying options and deployments. You can buy on-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions. Acronis Backup is very easy to deploy. It also does not consume much hardware. The administrator's tasks are very simple. It is very user friendly, and it also has good security features with low-level encryption and data encryption."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"The command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."

"The initial setup is straightforward if you understand Data Protector."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."
"Micro Focus Data Protector's most valuable feature is its interaction with the fiber share. It is easy to use, we use it to back up without any problem to VTLs, and can use the Fiber Channel that is still the TCP."
"I haven't experienced any crashes while using the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"It has a lot of undeveloped functions like window searching and patent searching, and within the main backup processes like VMware and Microsoft Exchange. It's completely not user-friendly, and it has no built-in antivirus software. In my opinion, Micro Focus Data Protector is not an enterprise level solution."
"OpenText Data Protector is more difficult to use and configure than OpenText VIM. The user-friendliness of OpenText Data Protector has to be increased, and the complexity of the tool needs to be reduced."
"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."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"This solution is not scalable."
"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."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
