We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and OpenText Data Protector based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."
"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"The pricing is fine."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."
"Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention."
"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."
"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 initial setup was relatively easy."
"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."
"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"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 needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"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."
"Virtualization."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
"I don't like this solution so much because it's very technical and compared to Commvault and Veeam, it's not so user-friendly. The interface needs improvement."
"Integration with the market applications must be improved, such as MS Exchange, MS Active Directory, SAP and Oracle. Other backup tools are more efficient with the integrated backups."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"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."
"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."
