"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data."
"Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"Integration with HP storage is a very strong point for Micro Focus Data Protector. It is the best solution for general operations like backup and restore. Zero downtime backup (ZDB) is one very important feature, which is basically the integration with the storage array. It is a very strong feature. We're using storage with snapshots with this integration."
"The solution allows us to be able to backup and exchange directly, to backup Microsoft exchange."
"Data Protector is very good at automation. From the time of the backup, verification, and copy to tape, it is very good. I don't need to touch it, it will do it by itself."
"The most valuable features of this solution were the features we worked most with which were telemetry, and the scheduler."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"We would always support better pricing."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"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."
"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."
"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated"
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
"Other tools seem to be easier to use."
"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."
"In SAP restoration, we faced issues with changing the SIDs and changing the path for every backup object. It is quite a lengthy process to do that."
"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."
