"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."
"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."
"I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."

"My company faces a lot of difficulties in restoring any encrypted VM backup."
"We would like to see some kind of notification given to the user that a file was not synchronized well or what may have happened."
"The product must improve on a database level."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"In general, you can say that Micro Focus Data Protector is behind in capabilities when compared with other backup solutions, such as Commvault, Symantec, NetBackup, but it is very strong for certain use cases such as array integration. We are using it in production even now. There should be some kind of cloud integration and archiving solutions. I think this is the area they need to focus on."
"OpenText Data Protector is more difficult to use and configure than OpenText VIM. The user-friendliness of OpenText Data Protector has to be increased, and the complexity of the tool needs to be reduced."
"The technical support is poor and should be improved."
"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"Many of our users complain about the GUI. You still need to rely on the command line interface. Because it originated as a Unix system, Data Protector is still a command line-driven solution, which makes it seem rather dated compared to systems that are built around a GUI from day one. It doesn't affect the functionality, but some people don't find it user-friendly."
"VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking."
"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."
