"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature."
"The most valuable features of this solution were the features we worked most with which were telemetry, and the scheduler."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The initial setup process for the solution is easy."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"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."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"The reporting can be improved."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
"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."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"We have a lot of requests for the Micro Focus team, particularly in terms of the Japanese data pattern, as it's not as good now. The Japanese data pattern accuracy of the Micro Focus Data Protector needs to be improved because there are a lot of false negatives and false positives. We are currently testing this and our product team has been communicating with the Micro Focus team."
"The online backups of Office 365 have room for improvement. This is now available for the Exchange Online part of Office 365, but we're still waiting for SharePoint Online, Teams, etc. We know that it's coming, but it takes time."
"The product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"I do not think that this solution is relevant in the current IT market. They have not upgraded their features and functionalities which makes it difficult for them to remain competitive."
