"The speed and deduplication ratio are two of the most valuable features of the solution."

"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"The file system backup (by far, the most used) is the most valuable feature."

"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."

"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"The product's price could be better."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."

"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"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."
"In general, you can say that Micro Focus Data Protector is behind in capabilities when compared with other backup solutions, such as Commvault, Symantec, NetBackup, but it is very strong for certain use cases such as array integration. We are using it in production even now. There should be some kind of cloud integration and archiving solutions. I think this is the area they need to focus on."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
"The GUI could be updated. The GUI hasn't changed since version 6. It's on version 10 now. The reporting could also be better. Also, while Data Protector is excellent for backing up physical hardware, it needs more features for backing up VM images because many environments use hypervisor."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"If you compare the solution with the same specific features and enhancements on another solution, Data Protector is expensive. This is especially true when compared to, for example, Veeam."
"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 have a lot of requests for the Micro Focus team, particularly in terms of the Japanese data pattern, as it's not as good now. The Japanese data pattern accuracy of the Micro Focus Data Protector needs to be improved because there are a lot of false negatives and false positives. We are currently testing this and our product team has been communicating with the Micro Focus team."
