"Technical support is good."
"The software’s best feature is data backup for any system."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Data Protector's granular recovery features make it easy for us to create and restore backups in an understandable and user-friendly manner. With granular recovery, any database or even just a database table can be restored at will."
"Integration with HP storage is a very strong point for Micro Focus Data Protector. It is the best solution for general operations like backup and restore. Zero downtime backup (ZDB) is one very important feature, which is basically the integration with the storage array. It is a very strong feature. We're using storage with snapshots with this integration."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"The installation was simple and provided an easy way to install even on Unix servers. It has excellent features like deduplication."

"In the next release, I would like to see better pricing and more integration with the other products in Dell EMC."
"NetWorker's major problem is its legacy software."
"The user interface has to be improved"
"There could be a possibility of constructing full backups from incremental data intelligently."
"The UI is not user-friendly."
"It is a little buggy at times, which is the only thing that I dislike about this product."
"I would like to see better support for the container systems, and we would like to see more support for image backups instead of pure file backups."
"The licensing rules are difficult to navigate and understand."
"The product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"It has a lot of undeveloped functions like window searching and patent searching, and within the main backup processes like VMware and Microsoft Exchange. It's completely not user-friendly, and it has no built-in antivirus software. In my opinion, Micro Focus Data Protector is not an enterprise level solution."
"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."
"In SAP restoration, we faced issues with changing the SIDs and changing the path for every backup object. It is quite a lengthy process to do that."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
