We performed a comparison between Microsoft DPM and NAKIVO Backup & Replication 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."The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"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."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"This enables us to do quick granular file recovery as and when required but also to do whole-site relocation in the case of a total loss scenario."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"Backups are very easy to implement and schedule, the product is very useful, and the recovery procedure is very extensive and feature-rich."
"The ability to use a variety of cloud providers rather than being tied into one is a huge bonus."
"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"We spend less time to get data recovered."
"It can be quickly configured via web pages."
"The user interface in general is very good. I"
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"Management reporting 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."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"The backup speed needs improvement."
"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression."
"Log and report creation can be improved."
"The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage."
"My first thought was maybe the GUI could be improved, although it works."
"Right now we know that Nakivo has the ability to back up as an incremental process and restore backups across several criteria. However, it would be good if we had the ability to backup a system like PostgreSQL."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"I need no more valuable features for backs-up. I have not yet tried the latest release, however, I have all the features that I need."
