Micro Focus Data Protector Pros and Cons

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

It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software.

Regarding scalability, it's unlimited with Data Protector. You can link multiple installations and let them work together. They can share backup devices. You have many possibilities with Data Protector. It's very proficient.

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

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

Performs the backup properly and protects our data.

This solution is quite stable because we have only three users.

It's very expensive compared to Veeam and other similar solutions.

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.

People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison.

They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use.

The solution is not intuitive enough. I think they should work on the user experience and the graphical interface. These can be a lot better.

The technical support is poor and should be improved.

The technical support was very slow.
