"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"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."
"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."
"It lets you verify a backup with the least amount of effort."
"The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V."
"The most valuable feature is the internal recovery."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier."
"From my experience, Veeam is very good. Its interface is user-friendly. We can restore it whenever. It's not complicated. It's very easy to manage and administration is very easy."
"Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"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."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"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."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"Physical backup is always where room for improvement could be but Veeam has always stated they are not going in that direction."
"Multithreading of health check process: This can take too much time to process on large jobs and/or large VMs."
"I don't see much room for improvement except that the price could be better."
"The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."
"The price can be better."
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized."
"think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."
"I would like to have them come up with more robust features when it comes to individual endpoint protection."
