Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."

More INFINIDAT InfiniGuard Pros →

"It works excellently only with Oracle.""The solution is easy to use.""The most valuable feature of Data Protector is its integration with VMware. A lot of software these days integrates with VMware, and you can run some of these things on virtual machines. You can even have your backup manager running on a virtual machine and use physical managers to move data around. Their VMware integration isn't too bad, but Commvault has that feature, and many other backup products do.""It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product.""The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us.""The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server.""Data Protector is very good at automation. From the time of the backup, verification, and copy to tape, it is very good. I don't need to touch it, it will do it by itself.""This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."

Cons
"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."

More INFINIDAT InfiniGuard Cons →

"In terms of what can be improved, I would say integrations with MongoDB. We use MongoDB and we need to go to scripts to do backups. We need more integrations.""VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups.""I'm uncertain if it supports virtual machine backup and restoration. If they could enhance this aspect, they could gain more support from end users.""Micro Focus Data Protector must improve its overall evolution record. They need to focus on hardware based instant recovery, client recovery, and cloud ability. Now there is no cloud ability.""The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support.""Faster VEAgent Restores""VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking.""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."
