Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
Channel Sales Manager at Arrow Electronics
An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Provides effective backup for physical servers and needs improvements for cloud compatibility
We use OpenText Data Protector for Oracle database backup and some applications that run for database security OpenText Data Protector is good for physical backup, specifically for physical servers. It is effective for direct backups to EMC library or storage without using a repository. However,…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We find the ease of use valuable."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is useful for those who run an infrastructure where there might arise a need to do some transition or want to opt for digital transformation."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"Our primary use case for the solution is to back up our devices and equipment for employees and some equipment in airport software."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"Nutanix, in my opinion, will eventually take over."
"Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature."
"Reading the manual and following instructions will result in a working version."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"Data Protector is a very mature product that allows custom backups, scheduling, and copying in a manner that reduces the amount of time spent with backups from an administrative point of view."
"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."
"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"It is really easy to backup and restore your data across all servers, something that IBM Spectrum Protect struggles to do."
"The feature I like the most is the deduplication implementation with CAPA; it's very good."
 

Cons

"The solution could be cheaper and they should include more education or marketing materials for users to understand how to use the solution."
"It could be cheaper."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"The pricing could be improved. It's an expensive solution."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
"Technical support has not been good recently and in several cases, I have found the solution myself."
"Data Protector is great software, but after we started getting support from Micro Focus, it was taking too much time, there was too much delay."
"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated."
"There have been some issues."
"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."
"It is scalable. It's not as scalable as HPE would like to think it is."
"The license structure for advanced features, such as backing up to disk or compression, can make the license pretty costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
"Pricing/licensing is Data Protector's single best offering. In its most basic environment, the only license required is for whatever target device is required."
"The pricing is neither too expensive nor very cheap."
"Avoid using many LTO drives; when using fewer drives, the price will be extremely good."
"The pricing is around $3,000 to $5,000. The charge additionally for support and to scale."
"The pricing is acceptable for enterprise level companies, but it's not acceptable for small- and medium-sized businesses. Micro Focus Data Protector is not an enterprise level solution, and it should cover small- and medium-sized businesses with acceptable prices."
"The licensing cost was not annual. We didn't pay any license. We paid when we deployed and we didn't pay for anything after that. There were no additional fees after the initial payment."
"It is fast, reliable, and its licensing policy is great."
"The licensing cost is too high."
