Featured Reviews

Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.
Jeroen Vranckaerts - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"The tool's most valuable aspect is its ease of management. It was not complex. In terms of features, I can mention a couple of things. For example, if you need to restore a VM, you can do it with multiple streams in OpenText Data Protector, which is an advantage over Commvault, from what I've noticed, having worked with multiple tools. Another thing is the Oracle backups; configuring Oracle backups is much easier in OpenText Data Protector."
"The reliability of HP Data Protector is the most valuable feature for us."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."
"I haven't experienced any crashes while using the solution...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention."
"The solution is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"It could be cheaper."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say integrations with MongoDB. We use MongoDB and we need to go to scripts to do backups. We need more integrations."
"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"The technical support is poor and should be improved."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"Recently, clients have raised concerns about the lack of comprehensive documentation for Data Protector."
"VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
"There is a perpetual license involved in addition to support which needs to be renewed annually."
"Avoid using many LTO drives; when using fewer drives, the price will be extremely good."
"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."
"Pricing/licensing is Data Protector's single best offering. In its most basic environment, the only license required is for whatever target device is required."
"In Data Protector, if you need extra features, you need to buy the agents for these features. Some of the features are Terabytes, some of them are agents. There's some complexity in the pricing and licensing."
"The licensing structure provides cost savings to business."
"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."
"The license for the solution is very expensive compared to the other products in the market."
