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 setup is very easy."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"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 solution is easy to use."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The initial setup process for the solution is easy."
"The file system backup (by far, the most used) is the most valuable 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 UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"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."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"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 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."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"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."
"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."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say integrations with MongoDB. We use MongoDB and we need to go to scripts to do backups. We need more integrations."
"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."
"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."
"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"OpenText Data Protector is more difficult to use and configure than OpenText VIM. The user-friendliness of OpenText Data Protector has to be increased, and the complexity of the tool needs to be reduced."
"We face challenges with its stability."
