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 has a very rich functionality."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."
"The licensing model is very good."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."
"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"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 most valuable features of this solution were the features we worked most with which were telemetry, and the scheduler."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"We would always support better pricing."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"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."
"VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking."
"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."
"Micro Focus are improving Data Protector with every new version and since we began undergoing training with the latest version we have not faced any real challenges yet. However, their support does need to be improved, in my opinion. In certain critical cases that we've had, they did not provide a satisfactory level of support."
"The technical support is poor and should be improved."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"We have a lot of requests for the Micro Focus team, particularly in terms of the Japanese data pattern, as it's not as good now. The Japanese data pattern accuracy of the Micro Focus Data Protector needs to be improved because there are a lot of false negatives and false positives. We are currently testing this and our product team has been communicating with the Micro Focus team."
