Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."
"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."
"The performance has been fine so far."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"The licensing model is very good."
"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."
"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"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 reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"What we find most valuable in Micro Focus Data Protector is that it provides Japanese data protection, for example, it protects information such as the full Japanese name, address, etc."
"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."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"This solution is not scalable."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"The GUI could be updated. The GUI hasn't changed since version 6. It's on version 10 now. The reporting could also be better. Also, while Data Protector is excellent for backing up physical hardware, it needs more features for backing up VM images because many environments use hypervisor."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"If you compare the solution with the same specific features and enhancements on another solution, Data Protector is expensive. This is especially true when compared to, for example, Veeam."
"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 technical support was very slow."
