Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."
"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"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 tool's most valuable aspect is its ease of management. It was not complex. In terms of features, I can mention a couple of things. For example, if you need to restore a VM, you can do it with multiple streams in OpenText Data Protector, which is an advantage over Commvault, from what I've noticed, having worked with multiple tools. Another thing is the Oracle backups; configuring Oracle backups is much easier in OpenText Data Protector."
"I like that it supports HPE UNIX servers since many backup solutions do not - this is the main reason why we chose this solution."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"The command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."
"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"I do not think that this solution is relevant in the current IT market. They have not upgraded their features and functionalities which makes it difficult for them to remain competitive."
"The product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"We face challenges with its stability."
"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."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"This solution is not scalable."
