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."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 feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"Time dedicated to backup was drastically reduced."
"The archiving, off-of-box, is awesome. It lets you put your data where you want it and gives you the peace of mind of having more than one copy of it. And it's smart about the way that it does the archiving. It doesn't just copy one-for-one. It does all of its processing of the deduplication and compression before it sends it off to the archive, which helps with our cloud costs."
"Live Mount is where we do the majority of our big recoveries, unless it is a file recovery. A file recovery takes a few minutes to restore to where the file in the event a file was accidentally deleted by a user, etc. There has been at least a 90 percent reduction in recovery time based on our previous solution, from the need to recover something to when it's actually recovered went from hours to minutes."
"The product's most valuable feature is the immutability of a backup."
"The most valuable features of Rubrik are the restoration and ease of use."
"The Auto-Snapshot SLA feature and recovery time are amazing. It took seven seconds to have a server back up and running in production from a total failure."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik for me is its user-friendliness and efficiency."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"The reporting, in particular the customization of reports, needs to be improved."
"The Office 365 protection could be improved."
"The functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"Rubrik needs to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
"We have some challenges with the solution's reporting because historical reports have some limitations."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system. You have to engage their support to perform some of the tasks. It would be helpful for an experienced engineer to be able to go and do some of those tasks prior to contacting the support."
