"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"Data Protector is very good at automation. From the time of the backup, verification, and copy to tape, it is very good. I don't need to touch it, it will do it by itself."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"The most valuable features of this solution were the features we worked most with which were telemetry, and the scheduler."
"What we find most valuable in Micro Focus Data Protector is that it provides Japanese data protection, for example, it protects information such as the full Japanese name, address, etc."
"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."

"There are some limitations to the backup."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."

"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."

"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"In SAP restoration, we faced issues with changing the SIDs and changing the path for every backup object. It is quite a lengthy process to do that."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."

"It's very expensive compared to Veeam and other similar solutions."
"The solution is not intuitive enough. I think they should work on the user experience and the graphical interface. These can be a lot better."
"VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"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."
