"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"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 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."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly."
"No problems with stability."
"From my experience, Veeam is very good. Its interface is user-friendly. We can restore it whenever. It's not complicated. It's very easy to manage and administration is very easy."
"It is way easier to take backup with Veeam Backup & Replication than the regular ones."
"It has helped us transfer the solution in two days instead of working for a minimum of one week to ten days."
"The solution is easy to use and have good performance."
"It's fairly easy to manage and set up."
"This is easy to use with a simple restore feature."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"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."
"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."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"The price can be a bit expensive."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper."
"The virtual sandboxes seem complex to setup, so I have not invested time in leveraging this feature. It would be nice if this feature was more user-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in the application backups, particularly for Oracle and SaaS systems. Veeam Backup & Replication offers a plugin specifically designed for Oracle and SAP HANA databases. In version twelve, they introduced enhancements that allow deploying the plugin from the backup server. However, manual configuration is still required on each server to schedule the backup and specify the backup repository. Additionally, transitioning from a Windows server to a Linux server requires converting the existing model. Previously, Veeam heavily relied on Windows and Microsoft SQL databases for their solution. Fortunately, in version twelve, they introduced an enhancement by offering the option to use a Postgres SQL database, which is an open-source alternative."
"The price can be better."
"Its import and export processes for information and policies could be better."
"Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."
"The implementation of the features can be improved. Currently, there is no segregation of duty. Normally, any backup software or client service software is implemented in a way where one person is responsible for the implementation of the server, and one is responsible for the client, but Veeam Backup & Replication is not implemented in that way. Therefore, restores don't work like that. The backup guys have to do the restores, which is not a good thing. Its pricing should also be improved. It is quite expensive."
