When HPE owned Data Protector, a lot of time passed without developing more functions, missing deduplication and compression functions. But now, with Micro Focus Data Protector, it has returned to being a challenger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Relatively easy to configure backups, multiple integration component options (Oracle, SQL, SharePoint, Exchange, etc). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Licensing is pretty complex for this app. RMAN restores can be a pain (but later versions of DP have fixed quite a bit of that as an issue). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When it's installed, the most valuable feature is ease of use. It's a bit tricky to install straight out of the box and set up, because of the way the licensing module works. Otherwise t's very easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
