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."It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"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."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"The file system backup (by far, the most used) is the most valuable feature."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention."
"I like that it supports HPE UNIX servers since many backup solutions do not - this is the main reason why we chose this solution."
"Data Protector is very good at automation. From the time of the backup, verification, and copy to tape, it is very good. I don't need to touch it, it will do it by itself."
"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"Regarding scalability, it's unlimited with Data Protector. You can link multiple installations and let them work together. They can share backup devices. You have many possibilities with Data Protector. It's very proficient."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"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..."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"We would always support better pricing."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"Virtualization."
"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 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."
"VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking."
