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."This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"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 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."
"The most valuable data protection features in Veeam are encryption and error handling."
"The platform has a useful disaster recovery feature."
"The tool is good for VMware environments."
"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 most valuable features of the solution are its ease of deployment, its many interesting functions, and its good performance for both backup and restoration."
"The most valuable addition recently introduced is the Continuous Data Protection feature."
"When it comes to service cases, I would choose Veeam Data Platform over Commvault because restoring from Commvault can be time-consuming due to filtering tasks. Veeam Data Platform, on the other hand, offers a much simpler and faster restore process."
"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."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"The cost of the product is an area that would prevent me from using it in the future."
"They could offer a hardware appliance as a comprehensive, full-stack solution."
"It would be beneficial if it could expand its coverage to support Frostbox and provide greater flexibility for service providers to recommend backup solutions based on customer preferences in prospective environments."
"Veeam Data Platform needs to improve data backup for Oracle admin. It needs to improve its stability."
"Enhancing the level of automation in IT processes would be beneficial."
"It would be nice if the solution scanned for malware in the backups."
"The solution's pricing may be expensive compared to other products."
"Apart from security improvements, enhancing compatibility with various platforms and addressing limitations related to integration and verification would be beneficial."
