"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"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 most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"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 command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."
"It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software."
"Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you understand Data Protector."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"Virtualization."
"I'm uncertain if it supports virtual machine backup and restoration. If they could enhance this aspect, they could gain more support from end users."
"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."
"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 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."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
