"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."
"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 most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."

"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."
"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
