Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software."
"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."
"Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated"
"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."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
"We face challenges with its stability."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"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."
"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."
"The scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements."
