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 instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"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 administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"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."
"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."
"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."
"I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."
"The solution is not intuitive enough. I think they should work on the user experience and the graphical interface. These can be a lot better."
"The technical support is poor and should be improved."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"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."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"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."
