"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"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."

"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."

"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."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."

"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
"Network-based storage stability could be improved."
"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
"The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive."
"It would be great to have the job throttle/limit the max number of backups on a single ESXi host."
