We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and OpenText Data Protector based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"The Acronis panel is user friendly and tracking backups across a number of different devices is great. Acronis provides prompts and reminders to users if certain files are not backed up."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"It is a very stable solution."
"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."
"Micro Focus Data Protector's most valuable feature is its interaction with the fiber share. It is easy to use, we use it to back up without any problem to VTLs, and can use the Fiber Channel that is still the TCP."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"Data Protector is quite simple and easy to deploy. The deployment is always the same. It's on a server, and the agents are deployed to the machines in a straightforward way. We have two engineers who deploy and manage all our backup solutions."
"The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"The file system backup (by far, the most used) is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"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."
"The reporting can be improved."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"Integration with the market applications must be improved, such as MS Exchange, MS Active Directory, SAP and Oracle. Other backup tools are more efficient with the integrated backups."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"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."
"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."
"This solution is not scalable."
"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."
