"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"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."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"They provide good technical support and we are satisfied with the support we have received."
"The replication is the most valuable feature for us."
"Its portability and being able to back up between different platforms are the most valuable features."
"Get only one interface to manage all backup sites, secure them with replication, and manage outside LTO media."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are very good."
"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."
"The initial setup is simple to do in Veeam Backup Replication."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the new CDP features. It is very popular for my customer's needs."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"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 data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"The direct SAN backup integration can be perfected by improving the snapshot removal mechanism and process from the storage volumes."
"Its price is higher than other solutions and can be improved. They can also change the version of the software more often."
"The solution could improve by having a version to be compatible with the Linux system. They have improved the storage depository using the Linux proxy and Linux storage, but it can completely run on the Linux environment it would be much better."
"When in a domain, the virus can easily attack the Veeam server, something which happened to us."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
"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 implementation of the features can be improved. Currently, there is no segregation of duty. Normally, any backup software or client service software is implemented in a way where one person is responsible for the implementation of the server, and one is responsible for the client, but Veeam Backup & Replication is not implemented in that way. Therefore, restores don't work like that. The backup guys have to do the restores, which is not a good thing. Its pricing should also be improved. It is quite expensive."
