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've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"It is a very stable solution."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"The command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."
"Integration with HP storage is a very strong point for Micro Focus Data Protector. It is the best solution for general operations like backup and restore. Zero downtime backup (ZDB) is one very important feature, which is basically the integration with the storage array. It is a very strong feature. We're using storage with snapshots with this integration."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"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."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated"
"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."
"The technical support was very slow."
"If you compare the solution with the same specific features and enhancements on another solution, Data Protector is expensive. This is especially true when compared to, for example, Veeam."
"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."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
