We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and OpenText Data Protector based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"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 main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"The setup is very easy."
"The licensing model is very good."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature."
"I like that it supports HPE UNIX servers since many backup solutions do not - this is the main reason why we chose this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"Data Protector is quite simple and easy to deploy. The deployment is always the same. It's on a server, and the agents are deployed to the machines in a straightforward way. We have two engineers who deploy and manage all our backup solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Data Protector is its integration with VMware. A lot of software these days integrates with VMware, and you can run some of these things on virtual machines. You can even have your backup manager running on a virtual machine and use physical managers to move data around. Their VMware integration isn't too bad, but Commvault has that feature, and many other backup products do."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"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."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"The reporting can be improved."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"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."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"Virtualization."
"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."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"It's very expensive compared to Veeam and other similar solutions."
