"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"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 most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"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."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"I like all the backup features in Veeam."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"Veeam communicates with the vCenter in VMware, which means it's very smooth and doesn't interrupt production on VMware and you can backup or restore anytime, anywhere."
"It is a straightforward solution. There is no need for a dedicated technical person to do the backup and replication. Veeam is very straightforward when it comes to doing the replication."
"Very user-friendly and easily recoverable."
"The product’s configuration and settings are very easy."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is that we can back up in-house and multiple cloud providers' storage."
"Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000."
"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."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Could be improved with hybrid cloud integration backup."
"I would like them to move back to host licensing."
"I have also been struggling with the storage and in some cases I need to move things due to performance."
"The ease of use could be improved, but I don't have a very deep amount of experience in Veeam, so it's difficult to say what could be improved."
"The stability could be better, specifically in the cloud."
"If you do not use the standard software and you go with a third-party solution such as this one, it might not work the same. There is an integration issue I understand between the database standards."
"The integration with other solutions should be improved."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having better integration with the cloud. Additionally, they do not have direct integration to S3 or Azure storage for the backups of the VMs. This feature would be beneficial because we have to go through the scalable repository which I do not like."
