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 actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"The most valuable features of this solution were the features we worked most with which were telemetry, and the scheduler."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The initial setup process for the solution is easy."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"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."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"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..."
"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."
"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."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
"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."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"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."
"We face challenges with its stability."
"The scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements."
"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
