"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"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 reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."

"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."

"They need to improve the frequency of the backup. You can only backup one to three times a day. It would be better to back up continuously throughout the day."

"The solution is still in its infancy; it's not a mature product yet."
"The user interface is a little bit confusing and it could be better."
"The compression ratio of the backup data should be improved."

However, their support does need to be improved, in my opinion. In certain critical cases that we've had, they did not provide a satisfactory 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."

"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"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."
