Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."
"The installation was simple and provided an easy way to install even on Unix servers. It has excellent features like deduplication."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"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."
"The solution allows us to be able to backup and exchange directly, to backup Microsoft exchange."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"The technical support was very slow."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"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."
"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."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking."
