What differentiates OpenText Data Protector from other similar products?
I think what makes Data Protector a winning solution is the core and its structures. We can add a lot of backup requirements with the help of a data protector. I like how easy it is to use and I have never received any help with it or asked any questions. Easy to use. Data Protector is very easy to use and once you get it becomes a second thing. Works very well with standard OS backups.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Once installed, the most important feature is the ease of use. It is a little tricky to install set up, because of the way the licensing module works. Otherwise, it is very easy to use. Excellent performance, stable product, flexibility and licensing, easy to set up backups, and comprehensive integration options like Oracle, SQL, SharePoint, etc. I like fast discovery and the emphasis on data protection. My company holds sensitive data and we need ways to ensure that everything from our end is secure.
What do you dislike most about this product?
We feel difficulties in licensing this application. Restoring RMAN can be painful. It slows down when you use it for a long time. Most broadcast backups are not smooth as single broadcast backups.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
once we are on the Windows side there are better options out there. Another problem is that the data is in a format that only works with HP. When locked in HP Data Protector we are locked inside really.
Pros
- Reliable
- Efficient Service
- Caring
- Client Friendly Policies
