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."This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. "
"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."
"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."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software."
"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."
"I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"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."
"The technical support was very slow."
"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."
"The solution is not intuitive enough. I think they should work on the user experience and the graphical interface. These can be a lot better."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"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."
"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."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
