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."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."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"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 valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"Continuous Data Protection is a game-changing technology."
"Veeam Data Platform offers features specifically designed for ransomware defense."
"Veeam Data Platform copies data very efficiently."
"Its interface is designed to be intuitive and it also offers seamless integration with VMware storage, additionally enhancing its ease of use."
"One of the newest features in version 12.1 is malware detection. This feature allows the software to detect malware before initiating a backup job for a server. Although I haven't had the opportunity to personally try it out due to its recent release, I came across it while working on an environment in a cluster for a customer."
"The solution's recovery process is very smooth."
"The tool's stability is good."
"Veeam Data Platform manages and protects data across multiple cloud environments amazingly."
"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."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"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."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"It would be beneficial if it could expand its coverage to support Frostbox and provide greater flexibility for service providers to recommend backup solutions based on customer preferences in prospective environments."
"Veeam Data Platform needs to improve data backup for Oracle admin. It needs to improve its stability."
"Granular-level backup is difficult."
"Veeam Data Platform should improve its air gap backup features."
