"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"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 user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"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 solution just works consistently. I never have issues with it."
"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."
"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."
"This is easy to use with a simple restore feature."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
"The most valuable feature is the instant recovery."
"The fast backup and restore feature is the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"Veeam Backup Replication has agents for Linux, but they are not supporting Cluster Shared Volumes. It would be great to have agents for Linux be cluster-aware, just like the Windows agents. That's the main pain point. In addition, we should be able to handle the automation of Oracle backups from the backup server. We should be able to schedule, control, and deploy them from the backup server rather than relying on scripts and/or the system you are backing up to perform the backup. Currently, we install the plug-in inside Oracle VMs and then use crontabs to handle the task schedule on each machine for scheduling the backups. Veeam Backup Replication should also support the automation of Nutanix backups from the backup server, not from the proxy. The other not so major thing is that they don't support legacy systems because Veeam is a new company. It is not as old as other companies. They don't support physical workloads that are really old, which a major challenge, but they do have a point. Legacy systems should be virtualized, and if they're virtualized, then the backup is not an issue with Veeam, but some customers like the physical setup, and they don't want to have it virtual."
"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."
"The remote SQL server has had multiple sizing issues within the logs and SQL backup space and sharing with other database apps."
"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"I don't see much room for improvement except that the price could be better."
"I have found that the reporting could improve in its structure."
"The replication process is very slow. It takes too long to replicate a virtual machine."
