The most valuable features of this solution were the features we worked most with which were telemetry, and the scheduler. We just had to onboard where we only had a few basic terms.

Most features we worked on were on a web console, but they still lack almost all of the features.

The other route was where they just wanted to learn more about cloud storage and where they wanted to go to applications, auto applications from local storage to cloud, but we couldn't give them the solutions because we didn't have certain enough features, facilities, in our lab environment where we could just work out our good R&D, and so on. But we failed in that situation because we were not given these solutions. That is something we could have done.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it provides users with a simple backup option. The advanced stuff, like the ones offered by Oracle and Microsoft, is just not as refined as OpenText VIM. OpenText Data Protector is quite good for simple file backups and has good compression features.

It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure. It also seamlessly integrates with the other products in your library.

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.

• Ability to manage
• Ability to integrate with various products such as VMware, MS SQL, MS Exchange, and MS SharePoint
• Ability to automatically verify backups

The solution is easy to use. The management of the product is also easy.

Regarding features, the solution is highly stable when it comes to taking backups of our enterprise infrastructure, such as Linux, Oracle, and SAP.

When it's installed, the most valuable feature is ease of use. It's a little tricky to install straight out of the box and configure, because of the way the licensing module works. Once you get beyond that, it's very easy to use.

What we find most valuable in Micro Focus Data Protector is that it provides Japanese data protection, for example, it protects information such as the full Japanese name, address, etc.

Every feature is important in data protection. Every feature plays a vital role. There's nothing particularly about it. 

It is easy to understand and implement. It is also easy to upgrade. These are the main challenges that we face, but OpenText Data Protector makes it quite simple.

Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature.

I like that it supports HPE UNIX servers since many backup solutions do not - this is the main reason why we chose this solution.

Oracle DB instances backup is one of the main script integrations in the backup specification of the NDMP three-way backups. It lets us use StoreOnce Catalyst stores as a destination through an ethernet connection, bypassing the SAN and avoiding the use of physical and virtual tape libraries. 

Catalyst stores replication using ARS between two sites - each with a distinct cell manager. 

The command-line interface is user-friendly and well documented in the reference guide. 

Push install from DP GUI interface lets us deploy/upgrade clients of most common platforms in a short amount of time.

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. 

ZDB, and instant recovery. Also, it will do both physical and virtual backups with Hyper-V and ESXi.

The solution is easy to use.

I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data. 

It works excellently only with Oracle.

The stability of the product seems to be quite good.

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.

The new dashboard that has been introduced is also very good because it allows us to easily visualize how many backups have been performed, showing the total number of TB used as well as useful information on our backup schedules.

Also, in terms of basic backup features, it has everything that most other backup solutions provide and the pricing is very competitive for what it offers.

The world has changed, growth is happening towards cloud capabilities, and this product is not that developed. If you were to ask me what I like about Micro Focus Data Protector previously, I would say that this product is a single platform manager. At that time there was not any competition. You got the backup guaranteed even if it took some time, but in the they recovered the file. It was a really strong backup solution which contained a single license for tender services. But now the world has changed. There is instant recovery available but they're still an application based backup model. They didn't evolve.

From a data protection standpoint, HPE Data Protector reduced our and our customer’s recovery time. It also gave them an advantage in the industry in that they are able fall back quicker.

• VMware level backup
• Exchange integration
• Flexibility
• Cost

The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high.

On the interface level of managing the backup, especially the history of the files that we are backing up, Data Protector is pretty good.

Implementation is pretty easy, depending on the number of clients.

The data deduplication is great.

The solution offers easy device detection. It's great for detecting devices you attach to the network. It doesn't matter if it's HPE StoreOnce or Data Domain, this solution will pick it up.

The catalog if very complete. Even if your file is eight years old, you'll be able to see it there.

Data Protector is very good at automation. From the time of the backup, verification, and copy to tape, it is very good. I don't need to touch it, it will do it by itself. 

The file system backup (by far, the most used) is the most valuable feature.

• Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention.
• Has an extensive support base for most data formats.
• Natively allows the solution to be a ‘one-stop-shop’ for any enterprise data security requirements.
• Seamlessly integrates database security (i.e., Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL server).
• Utilizes product APIs: Allows for the leveraging of the latest manufacturer product innovations without compromising data security or recoverability.

One of the most valuable features is its integration with 3PAR and StoreOnce. The integration is more important than the features.

The solution allows us to be able to backup and exchange directly to backup Microsoft Exchange.

It is very reliable on the server side for providing a trustworthy backend. The installation was simple and provided an easy way to install even on Unix servers. It has excellent features like deduplication.

We rely on generating daily reports on our stocks for auditing purposes. Those reports are useful; so I would say they are the most valuable feature.

It is also very good that you can use it either from the command line or from a GUI. It depends on who is using it, what they want to do with it, and on their preferences.

Our data footprint was constantly growing. We couldn't back it up according to the backup schedules we had, so we needed a solution for this.

Our primary use is for disaster recovery, but the most frequent use is the restore function when a user accidentally deletes a file or two. Being able to restore the files quickly is extremely important.

The GUI is nice. However, the command line options are more important when setting up customize backups and restores in a custom scripts routine.

The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases.

SAP R/3 Integration is what I like best because our main production systems are SAP based with Oracle database, the “save-delete archive” feature is of ultimate use. It actually saves the Oracle archive file to the disk and after the save is verified it is deleted form the disk. That way you actually keep an eye on archive space on the physical disk and at the same time you are safe that no archives have been delete from the disk without been checked.

The best thing I find with Data Protector as opposed to other products was the inter-compatibility with all different OSs. It's very OS agnostic; doesn't matter whether it be Linux or Windows or AIX or whatever. It just seems to work. That's useful, very useful. The GUI interface is very intuitive as well, I find. It's very easy to use.

Restarting the failed session, where you don’t need to run a whole selection list backup.

Newer DP versions even have a resume feature, which should allow you to continue from the point of failure, instead of ruining the whole partition in case of a “restart failed objects“ error.

The feature I like the most is the deduplication implementation with CAPA. It's very good. 

The most valuable feature is the protection of our data with the backup capability and performance.

It's a good product that's pretty easy to use.

The solution is scalable. 

The initial setup is rather straightforward.

The granularity of brick-level restore functionality is very valuable. We receive approximately 10 restore requests on a daily basis for your typical file/folder restore, with the odd Exchange mailbox restore request thrown in, just to keep me on my toes.

Backing up to disk (HPE StoreOnce 4900) has been valuable in reducing the man-hours in managing the backups, with the added bonus of backup replication for all jobs to the opposite HPE StoreOnce. Historically, all our backups onsite backed up directly to LT04 tapes. This method brought a lot of its own challenges: tape management, costs, man-hours; not to forget having to ensure all our backups completed within the scheduled backup window throughout the week/weekend was tight.

The most valuable feature for me is its flexibility. Data Protector has a solution for almost every situation in which we want to backup something.

We bought it when it was a very simple product with a clear license structure, and it just did what we needed it to do.

Data Protector is software that we use to make system backups. The feature we use the most is doing daily backups and synchronizing backups from different locations to our central data center for disaster recovery.

In terms of configuration, it's very flexible. 

If you have an idea of what you are doing, it's very flexible and very stable. We've been using it since 2010 without an issue.

It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software, we have been using it for many years now. It's great.

I can rely on this backup and recovery software, if we have a disaster, to recover the data.

The ability to run multiple jobs to multiple devices and systems is the best part of this system. The limit is the hardware that the software runs on.

I have a multi operating system and multi virtualization platform infrastructure which includes Windows, Linux, HP Unix, VMware, Hyper-V, HP VM, etc. Since HP Data Protector has the capability to do seamless integration with each of the OS's and hypervisors, this makes it a complete solution for my environment. This feature is really valuable for me.

There are several valuable features, such as the integrations with SQL, Oracle, Exchange, VMware, as well as the copy-jobs/replication features.

The ease-of-use and management capabilities are the more valuable features for us.

Using it on smartphones and laptops is valuable. Now I have seen a new version of the HPE smartphone and it is fantastic. Syncing among devices is very interesting to me.

The most valuable feature is the integration with the infrastructure layer, for example, to storage systems like 3PAR. That is really valuable because you can use functions in the hardware platform to integrate with the functionalities in the Data Protector.

It provides secure and high availability platforms.

We use this solution for data deduplication. It also has the media library, so our disk-to-disk backup is also backed up to the tape. If there is data corruption in the disk-to-disk backup, we will have a copy on the tape.

Other solutions do not have this feature. If data corruption happens without this feature, you will be in trouble.

The valuable features are the ability to:

• Backup data
• Write to D2Ds
• Utilize D2D compression technology

We write TBs and TBs of data to backend HPE D2Ds. It then dedupes all the information so we get a 10:1 ratio of deduplication. This means we can store a heck of a lot more data on less storage. It saves us time and money.

It’s a very user friendly, easy to understand restore platform. The good thing about DP is that there is a Windows GUI version. This saves a lot of time and effort when one is learning on recovering using commands. The report generated by DP is very detailed as well.

We purchased it as part of a package with StoreOnce. Its integration with StoreOnce was probably the key selling point for us and made us choose Data Protector and not one of the other products on the market that don't natively support StoreOnce. There's quite a wide range of application integrations, for example, with SQL Server, Exchange, and Hyper-V.

The most valuable features include Sharepoint item-level restore and integration with the vSphere hypervisor.

What I like the most about this solution is that I can change and access the Oracle file. 

The most valuable feature is the Integration with Oracle, MSSQL and Exchange. They are the easiest to work with.

Unlike some other backup solutions, the configuration and restoration of the data is really easy. Just check it and you are done. We don't have to meddle with configuration files or create several of them, as is the case with IBM Spectrum Protect.

The mailbox restore works wonderfully on Data Protector. The RMAN scripts created by the solution save a lot of time for the database department.

The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication. 

This is the most difficult difficult question to answer because in order to get certain things done, we need to go to v9 or to a product like Unitrends or Arcserve.

The most valuable feature for me is the duplication.

With Micro Focus, which works with the HP hardware, you don't need to use interfaces. With other solutions like Backup Exec, etc., you have to run an additional API in the background. It impacts your systems. It's not the same when you are using Micro Focus directly with the HP hardware. This solution is more efficient. If you use another solution, you need to use an additional API. The people who designed Micro Focus were from HP, which is why they work so well together.

Originally, the benefit from Data Protector was that it fitted in because we buy HPE storage. So as an ecosystem, it was quite easy and smooth.

Although the ecosystem is good, development of Data Protector isn’t as fast as other products.

Integrations with others systems are the most valuable feature. With a little setup, you can connect and make online backups of entire structures like SAP/Oracle/MS Exchange.

• Integration with a lot of OS and applications, e.g. SAP, Oracle, Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, VMware, Unix, Linux etc.
• Very reliable SAP and Oracle integration.
• Licensing is based on a backup library/drive instead of a licensing model based on the involved servers. This library centric model allow you to add some new backup procedures very quickly.
• Intuitive user interface
• Easy and reliable client agents installation
• Backup log files accurate and clear
• A lot of customization is possible through the configuration files and script integration
• Preview for backup and restore
• A powerful CLI interface is also available

I have used Micro Focus Data Protector for the file backup facilities. My primary use of the software is to backup file data.

The most valuable feature is the ability to recover individual files. It's a quick process that takes very little time. It also provides the ability to manage other tape backup systems remotely from a centralized server.

Micro Focus Data Protector's most valuable feature is its interaction with the fiber share. It is easy to use, we use it to back up without any problem to VTLs, and can use the Fiber Channel that is still the TCP.

• Backup to Disk with StoreOnce software catalyst
• Disaster Recovery
• Zero downtime backup

I think that the most valuable feature for us of HP Data Protector is its ability to connect and integrate with all the other systems of our company. It's very important to us that all individual solutions in our IT infrastructure are able to work together.

The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us.

The most valuable feature for me is the number of agents available to back up our data.

It's very easy to use. Really, the simplicity of it is something we find very useful. Otherwise, it might not be a solution that's beneficial for us.

The integrations with other applications, for example SQL, Oracle, and Exchange is valuable. Also, especially valuable is the granular mailbox backup.

The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server.

We also use this product to back up our Linux file system.

• Low-bandwidth backups
• Deduplicated backup storage with StoreOnce.

The most valuable feature for us is the central, single pane of glass that allows us to manage our clients without having to log into their systems. It's a really good feature for us.

Cell manager and single drive for Windows/Linux.

The most valuable feature is the ability to back up to tape. We can quickly restore files that have been deleted or are missing from the system.

People who work with it know it. We cover a lot of solutions with this backup solution.

A few of the most valuable features for us are backup and restore, the SQL databases, and the exchange and VM's on tape libraries and disks.

• StoreOnce software
• Federated deduplication
• Vendor agnostic

I've used the product for a long time and am very familiar with all its features.

Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition.

It has the ability to backup both DB2 (IBM's RDBMS) and HP-UX (HP's Unix OS).

The database it provides is the most valuable feature for us.

For us, disaster recovery is the most valuable feature.

It is more user-friendly. It integrates into a virtualized environment very easily.

For us there are no features which we could call the most valuable. I think all components fulfill their jobs, but not one more than another.

The ease-of-use.

- Fast and easy to use

- Wide range of compatibility

- Simple integration with all the OS

- Simple GUI interface with a lot features

It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy.
