We performed a comparison between OpenText Data Protector and Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature."
"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"The most valuable feature of Data Protector is its integration with VMware. A lot of software these days integrates with VMware, and you can run some of these things on virtual machines. You can even have your backup manager running on a virtual machine and use physical managers to move data around. Their VMware integration isn't too bad, but Commvault has that feature, and many other backup products do."
"Integration with HP storage is a very strong point for Micro Focus Data Protector. It is the best solution for general operations like backup and restore. Zero downtime backup (ZDB) is one very important feature, which is basically the integration with the storage array. It is a very strong feature. We're using storage with snapshots with this integration."
"The file system backup (by far, the most used) is the most valuable feature."
"The command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
"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."
"If you compare the solution with the same specific features and enhancements on another solution, Data Protector is expensive. This is especially true when compared to, for example, Veeam."
"In general, you can say that Micro Focus Data Protector is behind in capabilities when compared with other backup solutions, such as Commvault, Symantec, NetBackup, but it is very strong for certain use cases such as array integration. We are using it in production even now. There should be some kind of cloud integration and archiving solutions. I think this is the area they need to focus on."
"The product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"Other tools seem to be easier to use."
"VMware backup integration and cloud recovery is lacking."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"It could use deduplication features."
"The integration needs improvement."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
