HPE Private Cloud vs. OpenText Data Protector

In our organization, we are using HPE Cloud Volumes for backups storage. HPE Cloud Volumes has given the flexibility of maximum availability and scalability. Now adding space is not a cumbersome process and it can be easily managed by HPE Cloud Volumes as per our need. In another scenario, we have used HPE Cloud Volumes for temporary storing the data for Datacenter move activity. On the downside, I think HPE Cloud Volumes solution is not suitable for temporary need as its more of a long term solution.

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.

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

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.

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.

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