We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and Microsoft DPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I have no issues with the stability at all. So I don't necessarily care about the stability of the product. I look more at whether or not can I recover. And I haven't had a failed recovery yet. I've got no failed recoveries of all my years."
"With a couple of buttons, we can configure a VM for a backup and use the wall service, the storage wall service, pretty seamlessly."
"The storage backup is very efficient."
"The solution helped us use R2 RBO to back up frequently."
"The deployment process is quite easy in Azure."
"I like that it's a simple system."
"Azure Backup is good because it is entirely cloud-based, which means that you can be 99.9% sure that your backup is safe."
"The scalability has been good."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"I like the core backup feature. I also like the file server backup feature. I find Microsoft DPM interesting because it has fantastic integration with Microsoft products. For example, in Exchange and SharePoint, DPM is excellent when it comes to backing up data. It also does a decent job with open-source products."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"I would like to see better integration with more products, and more services."
"The product could improve its performance."
"Azure Backup must include features similar to enterprise solutions."
"On-prem can be complex to set up but the cloud is simple."
"Azure Backup's licensing model is very challenging because it doesn't give a clear picture."
"There is a limitation of 99 files restores per day which means that we can't complete a huge file restore. We would like Azure to increase the number of the possible file restorations."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"The support for Office365 backup is atrocious and is something that has to be improved."
"It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with open source and competitor products. In the next release, I would like to see some data governance frameworks. It should have support features for data integration and data replication like Veeam. Right now, we are also using Veeam for certain scenarios."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"It needs portability for other vendors. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers, but it doesn't support third-party solutions such as Oracle Database. It depends on Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy, especially for Hyper-V, which has a lot of problems. They should enhance the Volume Shadow Copy functionality. Its reporting should also be better. Reporting is too weak in DPM."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
