"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"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."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"I haven't experienced any crashes while using the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Micro Focus Data Protector's most valuable feature is its interaction with the fiber share. It is easy to use, we use it to back up without any problem to VTLs, and can use the Fiber Channel that is still the TCP."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"The installation was simple and provided an easy way to install even on Unix servers. It has excellent features like deduplication."
"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."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"If I could create a protected image backup on a computer partition that just would be just for the image backup; and only the program could access it to prevent viruses from getting into it. That would be very, very good."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"We would always support better pricing."
"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated"
"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"We're not satisfied with the robustness and stability of the software since Micro Focus took it in-house. The GUI is one thing they could improve. It's still a bit archaic. Data Protector needs a more functional, user-friendly GUI."
"We face challenges with its stability."
"The product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"The scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements."
"Other tools seem to be easier to use."
