"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Regarding scalability, it's unlimited with Data Protector. You can link multiple installations and let them work together. They can share backup devices. You have many possibilities with Data Protector. It's very proficient."
"I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"I haven't experienced any crashes while using the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"Veeam is very user-friendly and intuitive software."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"Technical support is good. They're very responsive. It depends on the timezone responding, but I usually get a response within three hours of creating a ticket."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It was very easy. Deployment only took about one hour with configuration and everything considered."
"It is a stable solution."
"Application awareness is very good and the speed of this solution is good."
"A full-featured option for managing virtual machines with an instant recovery feature."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and stability of the product."
"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"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."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"It has a lot of undeveloped functions like window searching and patent searching, and within the main backup processes like VMware and Microsoft Exchange. It's completely not user-friendly, and it has no built-in antivirus software. In my opinion, Micro Focus Data Protector is not an enterprise level solution."
"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."
"VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups."
"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."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"If they could let you can do replication to physical servers - a backup from physical servers and a replication to physical servers - that will be better."
"Troubleshooting is very hard."
"The support could be improved a lot, as it is currently non-existent."
"There really are no cons. The product simply has to maintain development to keep up with changes in the operating system."
"The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows could improve."
"There should be an option to use the solution for physical machines."
"A feature I would like to see is universal restore. At the moment, restoration can only be smooth on the same hardware. Let's say you have a server and you back it up with Veeam Agent, in case it fails or crashes. If you later buy a new server because the same one isn't available on the market anymore, there's a high chance that Windows will not boot up if you restore from the Veeam backup because the hardware is now different. Acronis has the universal restore feature, so it will work with generic drivers and you can restore Windows in any dissimilar hardware. As far as I know, Veeam doesn't have this feature yet."
