"The initial setup was very easy."
"This solution is easy to configure and restore. It is a Microsoft product so is easily compatible with other solutions."
"We are happy with this product and have not found any issues while using it."
"It's easy to deploy."
"It's stable."
"I like that it's a simple system."
"With a couple of buttons, we can configure a VM for a backup and use the wall service, the storage wall service, pretty seamlessly."
"The scalability has been good."
"It's a good product that's pretty easy to use."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."
"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 most valuable feature of Data Protector is its integration with VMware. A lot of software these days integrates with VMware, and you can run some of these things on virtual machines. You can even have your backup manager running on a virtual machine and use physical managers to move data around. Their VMware integration isn't too bad, but Commvault has that feature, and many other backup products do."
"Micro Focus Data Protector's most valuable feature is its interaction with the fiber share. It is easy to use, we use it to back up without any problem to VTLs, and can use the Fiber Channel that is still the TCP."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."
"The monitoring and tagging features could be improved."
"There is a limitation of 99 files restores per day which means that we can't complete a huge file restore. We would like Azure to increase the number of the possible file restorations."
"I once tried restoring a Linux environment, and the size of the Linux VM or the data disk was really huge. It took a really long time to restore the environment and send the data from the storage to the disk. It took around 25 to 30 minutes, which was much longer than I anticipated. They can improve the duration of such restore operations. In the next release, it would also be good if they could reduce the duration for transferring the data from their storage to the actual storage while creating a virtual machine. They can reduce the duration or increase the data transfer rate."
"The integration with the record database and integration with other applications will be good, especially with the database piece."
"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."
"Technical support can be slow to respond at times."
"I would like to see more automation, integration, and security. The price could be better."
"I would like to see better integration with more products, and more services."
"This solution is not scalable."
"The scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking."
"We're not satisfied with the robustness and stability of the software since Micro Focus took it in-house. The GUI is one thing they could improve. It's still a bit archaic. Data Protector needs a more functional, user-friendly GUI."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"Micro Focus Data Protector must improve its overall evolution record. They need to focus on hardware based instant recovery, client recovery, and cloud ability. Now there is no cloud ability."
