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 image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"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."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"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."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"Data Protector is quite simple and easy to deploy. The deployment is always the same. It's on a server, and the agents are deployed to the machines in a straightforward way. We have two engineers who deploy and manage all our backup solutions."
"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"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 normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"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."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
"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."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"The GUI could be updated. The GUI hasn't changed since version 6. It's on version 10 now. The reporting could also be better. Also, while Data Protector is excellent for backing up physical hardware, it needs more features for backing up VM images because many environments use hypervisor."
"I do not think that this solution is relevant in the current IT market. They have not upgraded their features and functionalities which makes it difficult for them to remain competitive."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"The technical support was very slow."
