"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"The licensing model is very good."
"i use the backup solution and I use something called Disk Director, which is a related product. Together, they allow me to manage all of my storage space."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"The most valuable feature of Data Protector is its integration with VMware. A lot of software these days integrates with VMware, and you can run some of these things on virtual machines. You can even have your backup manager running on a virtual machine and use physical managers to move data around. Their VMware integration isn't too bad, but Commvault has that feature, and many other backup products do."
"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software."

"The command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."
"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions 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."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"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."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"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."
"The online backups of Office 365 have room for improvement. This is now available for the Exchange Online part of Office 365, but we're still waiting for SharePoint Online, Teams, etc. We know that it's coming, but it takes time."
"The product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"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."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"This solution is not scalable."
"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."
