"The command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."
"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."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"I haven't experienced any crashes while using the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"What I like most about this solution are the simplicity and the price-performance ratio."
"The solution is easy to use and have good performance."
"The whole replication aspect of the solution is excellent because it compresses the data so well."
"We get a lot of features with Veeam and we are happy to use this solution. After shutdown, the servers here automatically turn off and Veeam is keeping up all this. It's tension free work."
"The product is very simple in its design. We don't need it to perform complicated tasks."
"It has helped us to protect our IP address and critical information."
"The advantage of Veeam Backup and Replication is that it is very economical. The price is affordable and the cost benefit is good."
"I like Veeam a lot because it solves problems, is stable, and runs very well."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
"Integration with the market applications must be improved, such as MS Exchange, MS Active Directory, SAP and Oracle. Other backup tools are more efficient with the integrated backups."
"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."
"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."
"VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking."
"We have so many specific technological cracks in Micro Focus, but we are not getting the features, facilities, or coordination between the global delivery centers and the R&D team that we need to express our ideas."
"We face challenges with its stability."
"VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups."
"The solution could improve by having more user-friendly dashboards."
"CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP. There is a chance to improve CDP and make it much easier for the customers."
"The replication process is very slow. It takes too long to replicate a virtual machine."
"The solution is rather weak when it comes to database integration."
"The solution could improve by having a version to be compatible with the Linux system. They have improved the storage depository using the Linux proxy and Linux storage, but it can completely run on the Linux environment it would be much better."
"While the Veeam Backup Replication tool can mostly back up all the data in the environment, the AIX from IBM backup capabilities nowadays could stand improvement as they are not featured on a single pane of glass."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"I would like to see the Veeam cloud solution and Microsoft Office 365 included all in one platform."
