Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution is highly stable."
"The cataloging is the best feature. It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete."
"In terms of stability, I've found it to be very stable. I've walked into the server room when it was at 60 degrees Celcius, and it was still running fine."
"The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data."
"The command-line interface is good."
"Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use."
"It's a good product that's pretty easy to use."
"Data Protector's granular recovery features make it easy for us to create and restore backups in an understandable and user-friendly manner. With granular recovery, any database or even just a database table can be restored at will."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle backup file."
"Data Protector is quite simple and easy to deploy. The deployment is always the same. It's on a server, and the agents are deployed to the machines in a straightforward way. We have two engineers who deploy and manage all our backup solutions."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"The configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage."

"The backup for a large amount of data is slow."
"IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly."
"Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"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."
"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."
"In SAP restoration, we faced issues with changing the SIDs and changing the path for every backup object. It is quite a lengthy process to do that."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
