Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"It is almost perfect for Microsoft products. It is not a very powerful tool, but it is okay for small sites and small businesses with Microsoft products. It is easy to use for backup and restore. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers such as Exchange and SharePoint servers."
"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."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"Using the built-in Snapshots and SnapMirror technology, we were able to have better working data protection locally and off-site."
"Most valuable features are its ease of use, robust Snapshot functionality, and that you can use it in two datacenters with SnapMirror-ing."
"The most valuable feature of the NetApp FAS Series is the snapshot and the FlexClone for Oracle and Microsoft SQL environments. Additionally, the integration can be done with most all on-premise and cloud providers."
"It changed the way we do Disaster Recovery (DR) around NetApp replication."
"You can use different protocols at the same time. Monitoring is also very easy in NetApp FAS Series. There is a free tool for monitoring."
"Better performance and lower costs."
"One of the most valuable features offered is double-parity RAID, which guarantees that your data will stay intact. We're also able to provision storage and monitor which ones are really consuming storage."
"It allows our Windows and Unix teams to have a centralized point to share data between the two."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"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."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"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."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"NetApp needs to put its OS on a microchip rather than on disks."
"I would like to see NetApp add incident support."
"As I see it, there could be more interfaces, more cache, etc."
"Dedicated storage efficiency accelerators could improve the overall performance of the system."
"With scalability, we feel the system is limited."
"Cluster mode needs to be more ubiquitous."
"There is no NetApp infrastructure set up here in Greece."
"NetApp FAS Series could improve by being more secure."
