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 web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"The setup is very easy."
"The pricing is fine."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"The solution allows us to be able to backup and exchange directly, to backup Microsoft exchange."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"We have a lot of requests for the Micro Focus team, particularly in terms of the Japanese data pattern, as it's not as good now. The Japanese data pattern accuracy of the Micro Focus Data Protector needs to be improved because there are a lot of false negatives and false positives. We are currently testing this and our product team has been communicating with the Micro Focus team."
"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."
"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."
"It has a lot of undeveloped functions like window searching and patent searching, and within the main backup processes like VMware and Microsoft Exchange. It's completely not user-friendly, and it has no built-in antivirus software. In my opinion, Micro Focus Data Protector is not an enterprise level solution."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"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."
