Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The initial setup process for the solution is easy.""I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data.""Data Protector's granular recovery features make it easy for us to create and restore backups in an understandable and user-friendly manner.

Cons
"The solution has few features as it does not focus on managing anything in the application."

More ManageEngine Recovery Manager Plus Cons →

"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated""They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use.""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.""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.""Micro Focus Data Protector must improve its overall evolution record. They need to focus on hardware based instant recovery, client recovery, and cloud ability. Now there is no cloud ability.""It's very expensive compared to Veeam and other similar solutions.""The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."

    Overview

    The native Active Directory backup and recovery utility from Microsoft fails to deliver rapid restorations due to its clunky user interface and lack of control over attribute-level changes. This emphasizes the need for an AD backup and restoration tool that must be user friendly, and also be able to restore all AD objects, including users, computers, groups, containers, OUs, DNS data, and GPOs.

    RecoveryManager Plus is one such web-based Active Directory backup and restoration software that is easy to use and also enables you to back up all your AD objects as well as recover deleted objects. Additionally, it offers you the flexibility to restore only specific type of objects or just specific attributes of desired objects.

    OpenText Data Protector standardizes and consolidates backups across multiple platforms. It provides secure, comprehensive backup protection for business-critical data and applications whether virtual, physical, or online in the cloud.
