"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"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."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"Using the built-in Snapshots and SnapMirror technology, we were able to have better working data protection locally and off-site."
"The solution is stable."
"The migration of the volume on the cluster is very useful and easy to use."
"Can use both SAN and NAS at the same time."
"Good for NAS and unified solutions."
"The solution has tiers inside which means we do not only need to use SSDs."
"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."
"I have found all the features useful in NetApp FAS Series."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"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."
"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."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"The solution's configuration is not flexible."
"The AutoSupport could be improved to be more proactive in certain cases."
"Its operating system is very cumbersome. However, after you set it up, it runs pretty smoothly. Its file system is not very dynamic. It is very static."
"When getting new hardware, always tell the account manager that you are also considering other brands. They will be forced to adjust the price lower."
"NetApp is costly when compared to Dell."
"Dedicated storage efficiency accelerators could improve the overall performance of the system."
"We are not able to connect to the support of NetApp from Sudan. We have to go through many agents for support, which makes it difficult."
"Needs to improve the adaptive storage quality of service."
