"The setup is very easy."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."
"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."
"Regarding scalability, it's unlimited with Data Protector. You can link multiple installations and let them work together. They can share backup devices. You have many possibilities with Data Protector. It's very proficient."
"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."
"The installation was simple and provided an easy way to install even on Unix servers. It has excellent features like deduplication."
"Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"We would always support better pricing."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated"
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The new backup systems are using new mechanisms for the recovery phases; for example, VM, recovery and testing the backup before recovering it. These features are not available in Data Protector."
