"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you understand Data Protector."
"The solution is easy to use."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The initial setup process for the solution is easy."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."
"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."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements."
"Virtualization."
"The product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"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."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"OpenText Data Protector is more difficult to use and configure than OpenText VIM. The user-friendliness of OpenText Data Protector has to be increased, and the complexity of the tool needs to be reduced."
"It's very expensive compared to Veeam and other similar solutions."
"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated"
