Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"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 automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The replication feature is noteworthy because it's faster than most and it uses little bandwidth. Then there's the friendly interface that the equipment offers. With this interface, it is very easy to manage."
"The most important features are SnapVault, Snapshots, and SnapMirror."
"The tool's most valuable features are ease of use, ease of access, expandability, availability, and performance. NVMe drives have improved their performance."
"The most valuable feature of the NetApp FAS Series is the snapshot and the FlexClone for Oracle and Microsoft SQL environments. Additionally, the integration can be done with most all on-premise and cloud providers."
"NetApp FAS Series is simple to set up."
"The support is very good."
"It has a very good implementation of the Active Directory services, so implementation into a Windows network is easy."
"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 interface can be improved quite a bit."
"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."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"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."
"I would like to see NetApp add incident support."
"There are some technical limitations, but it would be great to have in-line deduplication and in-line compression for the FAS series as well."
"NetApp FAS Series should improve its price, which is expensive."
"Installation of the additional switches and ETP could be improved."
"The WAFL is slow."
"Technical support needs to be improved, as there are no longer partners in our country."
"There is no NetApp infrastructure set up here in Greece."
"The solution could do more than just data."
