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."If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"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."
"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."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you understand Data Protector."
"The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"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."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"We face challenges with its stability."
"It has a lot of undeveloped functions like window searching and patent searching, and within the main backup processes like VMware and Microsoft Exchange. It's completely not user-friendly, and it has no built-in antivirus software. In my opinion, Micro Focus Data Protector is not an enterprise level solution."
"I don't like this solution so much because it's very technical and compared to Commvault and Veeam, it's not so user-friendly. The interface needs improvement."
"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 product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"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."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
"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."
