"With this product, it all becomes automatic: locating the data, backing up the data, restoring the data. We can automate all that with it."

"The solution is stable."
"The tapes are mounted automatically. You can read a tape automatically without waiting for someone to insert it."
"The stability of the Micro Focus Storage Operations Manager is good."
 

Cons

"The product itself is fairly complex so the install is as well."
"The solution's cost needs improvement."
"When we want to interface the CA 1 product with other vendors, IBM or others, it is difficult to interface it with them, because you need some exits, you need to compile some assemblers."
"Micro Focus Storage Operations Manager could improve by having more parameters for storage. When you take the solution out of the box there need to be some more features built-in."
