Quantum DXi Series vs. OpenText Data Protector

It is good hardware/software to do VMWare backup, very reliable and convenient device. Hyper-V backup may be less appropriate to do due to specific software needs.

Well suited: scenarios with very specific backups schedules; backups saved in tape libraries. Less appropriate: environments with older Operational Systems and older hardware, such as tape libraries.

• A perfect solution for D2D backups. We are seeing a large savings with the de-duplication piece.
• Very versatile device. We like being able to use any backup protocol we need to for the many diverse jobs we have in the medical industry.
• Interface is simple and easy to use.

Incentivized

• It is very reliable on the server side to provide a trustworthy back end.
• The install was simple and provided an easy way to install and backup Unix servers.
• The support was always helpful and responded quickly.

Incentivized

• Every feature on the Quantum requires a license purchase, this is seriously annoying and drives the cost of the device up
• The cost of the device is somewhat high
• Active Directory integration is a bit of a pain

Incentivized

• Increase the range of support for new platforms.
• Improve the attention of support cases in terms of speed of attention.
• Keep me better informed of the latest solution updates.

It was just not a good fit for our organization. We have an EMC SAN, Data Domain backup storage, and VMWare. Without any other HP software or hardware in our environment I do not see the need to continue using a product that is not well integrated with our other brands

Incentivized

Very easy to use. What needs to improve is to make it easier to configure some integrations and features, such as office 365 integration, acropolis integration, block change-based backup, etc. Despite we have documentation, even following all the steps, the integration is hard to implement or doesn't work in the end.

The Reporting-Server and the Reports depend on the settings.

Support from Quantum was okay, they performed FW upgrade and replaced few faulty disks without any problem. Some old-style connections and requirements from them produced additional loads on our IT team.

It is the weak point of this software, although it is improving little by a little. The first level of support does not solve almost anything until you move on to a higher level that is more involved.

Pick one person to help you through the process.

The only aleternative looked at prior to the DXi was ExGrid, while both are great options the DXi offered a little more versatility and the support has been terrific.

When selecting a backup solution for our virtual environment we chose HP Data Protector for its cost savings in licensing, our familiarity with the software and the ability to backup to disk, tape or both with the standard installation.

Incentivized

Here the license model from the Micro Focus Data Protector and DP4CW should merge. It causes argumentation problems if you license two products here.

Incentivized

We use the tool in different installations and combinations of functions and hardware.

The professional services had some details of low promptness in the attention of cases.

• Storage Target for data that can be Deduped
• Using accent to do inline dedupe is great
• Works well with netbackup accelerator and netbackup

Incentivized

• Positive impact. I have not worked with HP Data Protector enough to provide the ROI. It simply worked when we needed it to.
