Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software."
"If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable."
"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 command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."
"It's a good product that's pretty easy to use."
"It is important, when we chose a solution, that the customer service/technical support team could help us when we needed it, but the support was good."
"I think this is the best backup solution that we have. It is very good for the infrastructure."
"The main thing I like about NetBackup is CloudPoint. You can take a snapshot of the endpoint and back it up with CloudPoint. The data backups are the most important."
"I think the support is fine. We haven't had issues with it."
"AIR and duplication, overall management and troubleshooting."
"Backup and recovery software with great stability, and can support large-scale environments."
"The backup and restore functions are very valuable aspects of the product."
"Best feature is its three-tier backup."
"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."
"I'm uncertain if it supports virtual machine backup and restoration. If they could enhance this aspect, they could gain more support from end users."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
"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."
"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."
"Other tools seem to be easier to use."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"Setup implementation."
"It would be better if it had a cloud integration feature. I would like to use a single product for the cloud instances and the on-premise instances. The price could also be better."
"Its integration with Nutanix and technical support can be improved."
"The solution must provide a different way to schedule backups."
"NetBackup is a very old product, and it is based on Linux, which is not user-friendly."
"There have been issues with performance and some features."
"The reporting of the backups could be better."
"Extra features come with additional costs."
