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."Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"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."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"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 of this solution is that it can be used in many different kinds of systems."
"The solution uses minimal resources."
"We rarely need their help. I would give their technical support an 8.5 out of ten. We are satisfied."
"The intelligent policies feature is used in order to protect the VMware infrastructure. One of the things that makes a big difference for our company is the usage of these intelligence policies. The system automatically provides extra protection for any VMware server application or service. From a backup administrator's point of view, this is what we call peace of mind. It reduces the workload and therefore reduces resources needed from the company."
"The solution is useful for backups."
"The tool is easy to use, stable, and performs well, but it depends on the environment where it is deployed. It is leaning more toward huge enterprises where it is positioned. It needs to be as easy as others but addresses more complex requirements."
"The NetBackup appliance features customized software that is designed for storage."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is a total backup solution. We don't have to buy other applications to do it."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"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."
"It could be better integrated with other platforms."
"Veritas NetBackup would benefit from better explained error codes."
"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."
"NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower."
"They need to make the licensing more clear. They should give all of the licensing details for the portals and be more clear. I have accidentally purchased the incorrect license because it's not clear."
"The only drawback for NetBackup, and of course for Veritas, is that they have stuck to the same environment and to the same UI - User Interface. This needs to be improved in future releases. It needs to be more dynamic."
"The price needs to be improved because it is really expensive."
"I would like to see support for databases such as MySQL and MongoDB."
