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."I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"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 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 have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"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."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"It's a good product that's pretty easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"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."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"Other tools seem to be easier to use."
"This solution is not scalable."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"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."
"Virtualization."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
