"Since the last version, everything has been improved."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"I like that it supports HPE UNIX servers since many backup solutions do not - this is the main reason why we chose this solution."
"The solution is easy to use."
"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."
"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."
"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."
"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 would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"On the cloud side, security could always be better."
"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 solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"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 technical support is poor and should be improved."
"It has a lot of undeveloped functions like window searching and patent searching, and within the main backup processes like VMware and Microsoft Exchange. It's completely not user-friendly, and it has no built-in antivirus software. In my opinion, Micro Focus Data Protector is not an enterprise level solution."
"In general, you can say that Micro Focus Data Protector is behind in capabilities when compared with other backup solutions, such as Commvault, Symantec, NetBackup, but it is very strong for certain use cases such as array integration. We are using it in production even now. There should be some kind of cloud integration and archiving solutions. I think this is the area they need to focus on."
"This solution is not scalable."
"The technical support was very slow."
"If you compare the solution with the same specific features and enhancements on another solution, Data Protector is expensive. This is especially true when compared to, for example, Veeam."
