Micro Focus Data Protector is enterprise software that has its strengths and some weaknesses.
We do not have premium support. I don't decide it.
When we have had a critical incident, all levels of support have been involved, as well as the local Micro Focus Data Protector pre-sales teams.

Don't buy it
HP Data Protector was being used for back ups.
- Nothing it is an average product.
- Tech support - every person I spoke with had a different idea on how to fix a problem. Many times they caused the problem resulting in double or triple work.

Change management was a major issue with the implementation
Not to have chosen HP Data Protector.

- Having to start and stop jobs
Yes
we needed to get help quickly
Yes
The main drive became corrupt and it took me being on the phone round the clock to get it fixed.
When the drive became corrupt no one had ever had this problem before. I literally followed the sun around the planet from help center to help center until I got the main guy who developed it in Europe and they fixed the problem.
- The GUI was very simple
- Each job had to be created and could not step on the other it was a logical nightmare.
- Plus we had to update twice to get some of the functions we needed.
