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."Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"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 haven't experienced any crashes while using the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."
"The solution allows us to be able to backup and exchange directly, to backup Microsoft exchange."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"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."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"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."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
"This solution is not scalable."
"It's very expensive compared to Veeam and other similar solutions."
"Virtualization."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"The scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements."
