"It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software."
"The file system backup (by far, the most used) is the most valuable feature."
"Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature."
"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."
"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 tool's most valuable aspect is its ease of management. It was not complex. In terms of features, I can mention a couple of things. For example, if you need to restore a VM, you can do it with multiple streams in OpenText Data Protector, which is an advantage over Commvault, from what I've noticed, having worked with multiple tools. Another thing is the Oracle backups; configuring Oracle backups is much easier in OpenText Data Protector."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"The solution's cost, scalability, and licensing model could be improved."
"We are not able to deal directly with the OEM we have to go to their partners in Nigeria."
"The pricing could be better, but it's still not too expensive."
"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"This solution is not scalable."
"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."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"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."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
"The technical support was very slow."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
