"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"The scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements."
"The GUI could be updated. The GUI hasn't changed since version 6. It's on version 10 now. The reporting could also be better. Also, while Data Protector is excellent for backing up physical hardware, it needs more features for backing up VM images because many environments use hypervisor."
"VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking."
"The technical support is poor and should be improved."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"This solution is not scalable."
"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."
