IBM Tivoli CDP for Files vs OpenText Data Protector comparison

"The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."

"The file system backup (by far, the most used) is the most valuable feature."

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

"The initial setup was relatively easy."

"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."

"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."

"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."

"The solution is easy to use."

"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."

"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."

"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."

"The graphical interface needs to be improved."

"Faster VEAgent Restores"

"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."

"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."

"In general, you can say that Micro Focus Data Protector is behind in capabilities when compared with other backup solutions, such as Commvault, Symantec, NetBackup, but it is very strong for certain use cases such as array integration. We are using it in production even now. There should be some kind of cloud integration and archiving solutions. I think this is the area they need to focus on."

"This solution is not scalable."

"I do not think that this solution is relevant in the current IT market. They have not upgraded their features and functionalities which makes it difficult for them to remain competitive."

"It's expensive, but it's worth for it due to the volume of critical information within our database. We are currently paying about $22,000 per year."

"Avoid using many LTO drives; when using fewer drives, the price will be extremely good."

"Pricing for Micro Focus Data Protector is reasonable."

"The licensing structure provides cost savings to business."

"The licensing cost was not annual. We didn't pay any license. We paid when we deployed and we didn't pay for anything after that. There were no additional fees after the initial payment."

"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."

"The pricing is neither too expensive nor very cheap."
