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 performance has been fine so far."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"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."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"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 command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"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."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"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."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"The online backups of Office 365 have room for improvement. This is now available for the Exchange Online part of Office 365, but we're still waiting for SharePoint Online, Teams, etc. We know that it's coming, but it takes time."
"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."
"The scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements."
"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated"
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"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 downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
"We're not satisfied with the robustness and stability of the software since Micro Focus took it in-house. The GUI is one thing they could improve. It's still a bit archaic. Data Protector needs a more functional, user-friendly GUI."
