Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"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."
"What we find most valuable in Micro Focus Data Protector is that it provides Japanese data protection, for example, it protects information such as the full Japanese name, address, etc."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"The most valuable features of this solution were the features we worked most with which were telemetry, and the scheduler."
"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."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"I haven't experienced any crashes while using the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"The new backup systems are using new mechanisms for the recovery phases; for example, VM, recovery and testing the backup before recovering it. These features are not available in Data Protector."
"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."
"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"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."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"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 technical support was very slow."
"I don't like this solution so much because it's very technical and compared to Commvault and Veeam, it's not so user-friendly. The interface needs improvement."
