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."I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"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."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"I like that it supports HPE UNIX servers since many backup solutions do not - this is the main reason why we chose this solution."
"I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data."
"The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."
"It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The installation was simple and provided an easy way to install even on Unix servers. It has excellent features like deduplication."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"Other tools seem to be easier to use."
"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."
"We have so many specific technological cracks in Micro Focus, but we are not getting the features, facilities, or coordination between the global delivery centers and the R&D team that we need to express our ideas."
"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."
"Virtualization."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
