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."One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"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."
"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."
"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"It's a good product that's pretty easy to use."
"Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"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 dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"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."
"This solution is not scalable."
"The product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups."
"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."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"We're not satisfied with the robustness and stability of the software since Micro Focus took it in-house. The GUI is one thing they could improve. It's still a bit archaic. Data Protector needs a more functional, user-friendly GUI."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
