HP emphasizes how Data Protector offers a low TCO and easy integration with HP hardware:
- TCO. HP claims that Data Protector costs 30-70% less to acquire and deploy versus competitors. The low TCO arises from extensive OEM partnerships. Info-Tech sees significant savings for shops that already have a relationship with HP.
- Ease of integration. Enterprises running a lot of HP hardware may find Data Protector the default choice. However, HP has earned criticism that its products don't play well with others. Enterprises must weigh these concerns against HP's attractive turnkey solution with software, hardware, service and support.
