"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"The technical support is excellent. It's one of the best I've met so far."
"It's fairly easy to manage and set up."
"The solution does a good job with VM backups."
"Its performance is fine. It supports us very well. It is able to support our policy for RTO, RPO, and other things that we need."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly."
"It's got a very good user-friendly interface. It's easy to use."
"I can't think of any improvements yet for Veeam because they are very good. It integrates very well with Microsoft applications. It is very easy to integrate. Micro Focus can also integrate but it's more complex. You have to know the product very well to be able to integrate. While Veeam, it's very user-friendly. You don't need to have certifications or anything to work on Veeam."
"The solution can work for companies no matter the size or scope."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"The Veeam backup application interface is application-based and not web-based."
"Immutability could be improved."
"The data duplication should be improved."
"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."
"I would like to see the replication and a recovery plan of the servers in the cloud. It's very important."
"It's hard to answer because managing cloud storage in our version could be better, but now that they have improved it in the recent version, I cannot say it's a better point because I know it should be already fixed."
"There is room for improvement in the application backups, particularly for Oracle and SaaS systems. Veeam Backup & Replication offers a plugin specifically designed for Oracle and SAP HANA databases. In version twelve, they introduced enhancements that allow deploying the plugin from the backup server. However, manual configuration is still required on each server to schedule the backup and specify the backup repository. Additionally, transitioning from a Windows server to a Linux server requires converting the existing model. Previously, Veeam heavily relied on Windows and Microsoft SQL databases for their solution. Fortunately, in version twelve, they introduced an enhancement by offering the option to use a Postgres SQL database, which is an open-source alternative."
"It would be preferable if they could introduce a complete Linux version instead of relying solely on Microsoft for management. There should be a unified integration of all their products. Currently, there are various products like cloud backup and others that exist separately. It would be better if they could create a single comprehensive platform or product, as opposed to having disparate products that lack proper communication between them."
