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."It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"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."
"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."
"I haven't experienced any crashes while using the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"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."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"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."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
"Integration with the market applications must be improved, such as MS Exchange, MS Active Directory, SAP and Oracle. Other backup tools are more efficient with the integrated backups."
"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."
"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."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"It's very expensive compared to Veeam and other similar solutions."
