Pros
"Along with its active directory infrastructure, this solution also possesses the ability to recover and exchange, making it a valuable backup tool."

More ManageEngine Recovery Manager Plus Pros →

"It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software.""The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high.""The initial setup is very easy.""The tool's most valuable aspect is its ease of management. It was not complex. In terms of features, I can mention a couple of things. For example, if you need to restore a VM, you can do it with multiple streams in OpenText Data Protector, which is an advantage over Commvault, from what I've noticed, having worked with multiple tools. Another thing is the Oracle backups; configuring Oracle backups is much easier in OpenText Data Protector.""I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data.""The installation was simple and provided an easy way to install even on Unix servers. It has excellent features like deduplication.""The most valuable features of this solution were the features we worked most with which were telemetry, and the scheduler.""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."

Cons
"The solution has few features as it does not focus on managing anything in the application."

More ManageEngine Recovery Manager Plus Cons →

"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates.""The technical support was very slow.""I don't like this solution so much because it's very technical and compared to Commvault and Veeam, it's not so user-friendly. The interface needs improvement.""It's very expensive compared to Veeam and other similar solutions.""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 downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match.""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.""I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."

    Overview

    The native Active Directory backup and recovery utility from Microsoft fails to deliver rapid restorations due to its clunky user interface and lack of control over attribute-level changes. This emphasizes the need for an AD backup and restoration tool that must be user friendly, and also be able to restore all AD objects, including users, computers, groups, containers, OUs, DNS data, and GPOs.

    RecoveryManager Plus is one such web-based Active Directory backup and restoration software that is easy to use and also enables you to back up all your AD objects as well as recover deleted objects. Additionally, it offers you the flexibility to restore only specific type of objects or just specific attributes of desired objects.

    OpenText Data Protector standardizes and consolidates backups across multiple platforms. It provides secure, comprehensive backup protection for business-critical data and applications whether virtual, physical, or online in the cloud.
