We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and OpenText Data Protector based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."When it comes to Azure Backup, the advantage is that it's native and it's very easy to configure. We don't require a separate tool or manage something on a separate server. At the backend, it's managed by Microsoft itself, and we don't need to manage it."
"The scalability has been good."
"It offers seamless integration."
"It's very simple to configure which is very useful. It's not complex to configure it."
"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"I have no issues with the stability at all. So I don't necessarily care about the stability of the product. I look more at whether or not can I recover. And I haven't had a failed recovery yet. I've got no failed recoveries of all my years."
"Azure Backup is good because it is entirely cloud-based, which means that you can be 99.9% sure that your backup is safe."
"It's stable."
"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The file system backup (by far, the most used) is the most valuable feature."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"I haven't experienced any crashes while using the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"In the next release, I would like to see the ability to back up to different cloud providers."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"The tool's backup should be faster. Azure Backup's support should be faster."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"It doesn't have the option to have a backup from the database. It has backup for the files, folders, and backup only the whole virtual machine. But if I need to do a backup from the Oracle database, from an Exchange server or from SharePoint, this ability isn't there. There is no application backup."
"Azure Backup could improve by offering better integration for Oracle databases and enhancing features like granular restore and backup compliance capabilities."
"To make it a ten, it should have the ability to extend the retention and to perform a copy of the data outside of the subscription - with no additional costs."
"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."
"This solution is not scalable."
"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 face challenges with its stability."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"The product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"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."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
