"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."

"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."

"Management reporting could be improved."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"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."
