"I have no issues with the stability at all. So I don't necessarily care about the stability of the product. I look more at whether or not can I recover. And I haven't had a failed recovery yet. I've got no failed recoveries of all my years."
"We are happy with this product and have not found any issues while using it."
"I like that it's a simple system."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that it is easy to create a backup by using Azure Backup. It also has a good user interface and nice features for sending notifications when any backup fails or there is a change in the status of virtual machines."
"The deployment process is quite easy in Azure."
"Enables immediate recovery and immediate restoration."
"I like that it's a stable solution and their support is good. I think Microsoft's commercial force is superior."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."

"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."
"I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data."
"I would like to see more automation, integration, and security. The price could be better."
"It can be further improved by continuously meeting its compliance requirements."
"I can’t use the solution to restore another native cloud solution. Azure must add this new feature."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"I once tried restoring a Linux environment, and the size of the Linux VM or the data disk was really huge. It took a really long time to restore the environment and send the data from the storage to the disk. It took around 25 to 30 minutes, which was much longer than I anticipated. They can improve the duration of such restore operations. In the next release, it would also be good if they could reduce the duration for transferring the data from their storage to the actual storage while creating a virtual machine. They can reduce the duration or increase the data transfer rate."
"In the next release, I would like to see the ability to back up to different cloud providers."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"Azure Backup must include features similar to enterprise solutions."
"The new backup systems are using new mechanisms for the recovery phases; for example, VM, recovery and testing the backup before recovering it. These features are not available in Data Protector."
"We face challenges with its stability."
"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."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"This solution is not scalable."
"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."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
