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."Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"The pricing is fine."
"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 most valuable feature is its consistency."
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you understand Data Protector."
"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"Micro Focus Data Protector's most valuable feature is its interaction with the fiber share. It is easy to use, we use it to back up without any problem to VTLs, and can use the Fiber Channel that is still the TCP."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"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 supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"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."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"In general, you can say that Micro Focus Data Protector is behind in capabilities when compared with other backup solutions, such as Commvault, Symantec, NetBackup, but it is very strong for certain use cases such as array integration. We are using it in production even now. There should be some kind of cloud integration and archiving solutions. I think this is the area they need to focus on."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"Virtualization."
"We face challenges with its stability."
"I don't like this solution so much because it's very technical and compared to Commvault and Veeam, it's not so user-friendly. The interface needs improvement."
