We performed a comparison between Barracuda Backup and Microsoft DPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The solution’s scalability is good because its space is unlimited. We can start in Office365 with one terabyte bit of information and leverage through an enterprise solution of 1000 users."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"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 most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"An improvement is required in reports and backups for sharing on Linux and Unix."
"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."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"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."
"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."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
