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 main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"The solution allows us to be able to backup and exchange directly, to backup Microsoft exchange."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"I like that it supports HPE UNIX servers since many backup solutions do not - this is the main reason why we chose this solution."
"I haven't experienced any crashes while using the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"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 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."
"The reporting can be improved."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"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."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
"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."
"I do not think that this solution is relevant in the current IT market. They have not upgraded their features and functionalities which makes it difficult for them to remain competitive."
"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."
"The technical support was very slow."
"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."
"VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
