Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The speed and the ease of the initial setup are both good. It is not complex."
"One of the features I find most valuable, is the good technical support."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"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 feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you understand Data Protector."
"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."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"The interface and documentation need to improve."
"The product has to be more mature, like to be another six to eight months on the market. A lot of maturity needs to be incorporated."
"The scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
"The solution is not intuitive enough. I think they should work on the user experience and the graphical interface. These can be a lot better."
"Other tools seem to be easier to use."
"We have so many specific technological cracks in Micro Focus, but we are not getting the features, facilities, or coordination between the global delivery centers and the R&D team that we need to express our ideas."
"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."
"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."
"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."
