User-friendly, competitive, agent-based, and easy to manage

Pros

"The most valuable features of this solution were the features we worked most with which were telemetry, and the scheduler."

Cons

"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. "

Allows you to restore backups and verify them. I would like to see faster updates.

Though a highly stable tool, it needs to be made easier to use and configure

Pros

" I haven't experienced any crashes while using the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

Cons

"OpenText Data Protector is more difficult to use and configure than OpenText VIM. The user-friendliness of OpenText Data Protector has to be increased, and the complexity of the tool needs to be reduced."

Seamlessly integrates with the other products in your library, but is less advanced when compared to competitors

Pros

"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure. "

Cons

"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."

It is easy to use. You can drill down amongst several backup versions to the specific files you want back.

Has an easy setup but is only available on-premise

Pros

"The initial setup is straightforward if you understand Data Protector. "

Cons

"I don't like this solution so much because it's very technical and compared to Commvault and Veeam, it's not so user-friendly. The interface needs improvement. "

VMware integration isn't bad, but their support has fallen off since they were acquired

Pros

"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. "

Cons

"We're not satisfied with the robustness and stability of the software since Micro Focus took it in-house. The GUI is one thing they could improve. It's still a bit archaic. Data Protector needs a more functional, user-friendly GUI. "
