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."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."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature."
"I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."
"The installation was simple and provided an easy way to install even on Unix servers. It has excellent features like deduplication."
"Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The dashboards for digital operations can 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."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"The technical support was very slow."
"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 technical support is poor and should be improved."
"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."
"If you compare the solution with the same specific features and enhancements on another solution, Data Protector is expensive. This is especially true when compared to, for example, Veeam."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say integrations with MongoDB. We use MongoDB and we need to go to scripts to do backups. We need more integrations."
