Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution’s scalability is good because its space is unlimited. We can start in Office365 with one terabyte bit of information and leverage through an enterprise solution of 1000 users."
"The command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."
"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."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"It's a good product that's pretty easy to use."
"I like that it supports HPE UNIX servers since many backup solutions do not - this is the main reason why we chose this solution."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"An improvement is required in reports and backups for sharing on Linux and Unix."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
"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."
"Other tools seem to be easier to use."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"Many of our users complain about the GUI. You still need to rely on the command line interface. Because it originated as a Unix system, Data Protector is still a command line-driven solution, which makes it seem rather dated compared to systems that are built around a GUI from day one. It doesn't affect the functionality, but some people don't find it user-friendly."
"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."
"VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking."
