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 administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution."
"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."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"The solution is easy to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."
"The command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"It does not delete locked files."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."
"The pricing could be improved."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."
"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."
"Micro Focus Data Protector must improve its overall evolution record. They need to focus on hardware based instant recovery, client recovery, and cloud ability. Now there is no cloud ability."
"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 scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"Virtualization."
"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."
"This solution is not scalable."
