Though this tool lacks the features to allow backups on the same server, it is very easy to use
Along with its active directory infrastructure, this solution also possesses the ability to recover and exchange, making it a valuable backup tool. However, this solution may not be as suitable for customers who require more of a rough application. Additionally, the management team does not…

Though a highly stable tool, it needs to be made easier to use and configure
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a five out of ten. OpenText Data Protector is complex to configure correctly, but the areas concerning the data and compression are good. Once you get the product to work, it works, but it's much too complex to configure and troubleshoot, as it takes a lot of time and energy, making it not so efficient. Once the tool is configured in your environment, it provides good backup and compression features. In my company, we use OpenText Data Protector as a backup for our servers, and we have a team of 20 people to take care of the data backup using the tool. My company doesn't use OpenText Data Protector as a backup for our client's computers. In my company, we have scheduled the process related to backup, which makes the tool run daily around 30 to 40 times.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Along with its active directory infrastructure, this solution also possesses the ability to recover and exchange, making it a valuable backup tool."
"The feature that was most valuable was that we could restore one mailbox and we could do different backups for different databases."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."
"The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The installation was simple and provided an easy way to install even on Unix servers. It has excellent features like deduplication."
 

Cons

"The solution has few features as it does not focus on managing anything in the application."
"The online backups of Office 365 have room for improvement. This is now available for the Exchange Online part of Office 365, but we're still waiting for SharePoint Online, Teams, etc. We know that it's coming, but it takes time."
"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"The challenge is that we can't restore a single file from the VM in the data process when we do VM backups. But with Commvault, you can restore a single file even if you have a VM snapshot package. That's one drawback of this tool. When we do VM backups, it should help us browse the VMs to restore a single file instead of doing the complete VM restore."
"It's very expensive compared to Veeam and other similar solutions."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated"
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license cost for this solution is cheap."
"The licensing structure provides cost savings to business."
"Pricing for Micro Focus Data Protector is reasonable."
"It is fast, reliable, and its licensing policy is great."
"There is a perpetual license involved in addition to support which needs to be renewed annually."
"They have two types of licensing, one is for storage capacity and the other is client licensing. The capacity licensing here is a bit expensive."
"The licensing cost is too high."
"Data Protector's pricing is very competitive and we have no issues in this regard. I would give it an eight out of ten in terms of pricing."
"We have many competitors who are pricing better, and we believe that our pricing is higher."
