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 could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"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."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its backup feature."
"The platform has a useful disaster recovery feature."
"Veeam Data Platform offers features specifically designed for ransomware defense."
"I think Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is an excellent solution for ensuring user-side disaster recovery. It involves a platform on-premise, which can be replicated to another site. It's a very effective solution, and we prioritize both the FTO and the FTO."
"Its interface is designed to be intuitive and it also offers seamless integration with VMware storage, additionally enhancing its ease of use."
"Backup and restore features are valuable."
"Continuous Data Protection is a game-changing technology."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"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."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"Veeam Data Platform lacks cyber security tools."
"Veeam does image-based backups, whether it be of virtual machines or physical workloads, and they are able to back up general applications like Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. Sometimes, even Oracle and SAP. But still, there are many customers using other types of databases that Veeam does not natively support. For example, in the Linux area, MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported, but with many limitations. Like, if a customer is running a Postgres cluster, Veeam does not support that."
"Veeam Data Platform needs to improve data backup for Oracle admin. It needs to improve its stability."
"There might be room for improvement at the plugin level, specifically concerning application plugins."
"Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement."
"Since the solution has many options, it is not easier to give tasks to schedule it."
"They could offer a hardware appliance as a comprehensive, full-stack solution."
"The cost of the product is an area that would prevent me from using it in the future."
