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."Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"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."
"The setup is very easy."
"Data Protector's granular recovery features make it easy for us to create and restore backups in an understandable and user-friendly manner. With granular recovery, any database or even just a database table can be restored at will."
"The solution is easy to use."
"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention."
"I haven't experienced any crashes while using the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"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."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"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 backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"The technical support was very slow."
"The GUI could be updated. The GUI hasn't changed since version 6. It's on version 10 now. The reporting could also be better. Also, while Data Protector is excellent for backing up physical hardware, it needs more features for backing up VM images because many environments use hypervisor."
"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated"
"It's very expensive compared to Veeam and other similar solutions."
"We have so many specific technological cracks in Micro Focus, but we are not getting the features, facilities, or coordination between the global delivery centers and the R&D team that we need to express our ideas."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"This solution is not scalable."
