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 most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"The solution allows us to be able to backup and exchange directly, to backup Microsoft exchange."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"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."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"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."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"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."
"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."
"Many of our users complain about the GUI. You still need to rely on the command line interface. Because it originated as a Unix system, Data Protector is still a command line-driven solution, which makes it seem rather dated compared to systems that are built around a GUI from day one. It doesn't affect the functionality, but some people don't find it user-friendly."
"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."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
