"The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"Integration with HP storage is a very strong point for Micro Focus Data Protector. It is the best solution for general operations like backup and restore. Zero downtime backup (ZDB) is one very important feature, which is basically the integration with the storage array. It is a very strong feature. We're using storage with snapshots with this integration."
"The solution is easy to use."
"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."
"Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention."
"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
"It is not always stable."
"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."
"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"I would like to see a way to increase space."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"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."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"The product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"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."
"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."
"VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
