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."The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"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."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"The ability to clone backups."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"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 solution is easy to use."
"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"I like that it supports HPE UNIX servers since many backup solutions do not - this is the main reason why we chose this solution."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you understand Data Protector."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"This solution is not scalable."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"I don't like this solution so much because it's very technical and compared to Commvault and Veeam, it's not so user-friendly. The interface needs improvement."
"Integration with the market applications must be improved, such as MS Exchange, MS Active Directory, SAP and Oracle. Other backup tools are more efficient with the integrated backups."
"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."
"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."
