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 automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"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."
"Continuous Data Protection is a game-changing technology."
"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."
"Veeam Data Platform manages and protects data across multiple cloud environments amazingly."
"Veeam Data Platform copies data very efficiently."
"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 tool's stability is good."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"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."
"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."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"Apart from security improvements, enhancing compatibility with various platforms and addressing limitations related to integration and verification would be beneficial."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"SureBackup is sometimes a bit difficult to use."
"Veeam Data Platform should improve its air gap backup features."
"The cost of the product is an area that would prevent me from using it in the future."
"It would be nice if the solution scanned for malware in the backups."
"Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement."
"Veeam is not in SaaS right now."
