"I haven't experienced any crashes while using the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"The file system backup (by far, the most used) is the most valuable feature."
"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"Right now we know that Nakivo has the ability to back up as an incremental process and restore backups across several criteria. However, it would be good if we had the ability to backup a system like PostgreSQL."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"The interface can be a little clunky at times."
"I think it is important to work not only in replicating the virtual machines in Amazon AWS, but in other cloud systems."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"Implementing more comprehensive data deduplication and compression techniques could optimize storage utilization and reduce backup times, improving overall efficiency."

"I do not think that this solution is relevant in the current IT market. They have not upgraded their features and functionalities which makes it difficult for them to remain competitive."
"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."
"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 interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated"
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say integrations with MongoDB. We use MongoDB and we need to go to scripts to do backups. We need more integrations."
"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."
"The product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"The online backups of Office 365 have room for improvement. This is now available for the Exchange Online part of Office 365, but we're still waiting for SharePoint Online, Teams, etc. We know that it's coming, but it takes time."
