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."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 initial setup is quite straightforward."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"If you use the NetBackup Appliance you do not need to have separate media servers and hardware. You can configure the same storage as a media server and master server as well as a storage port. This helps to reduce the hardware costs of the media server."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used in many different kinds of systems."
"NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is the duplication encryption standard feature."
"We can add multiple appliances to the product."

"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface."
"I think the solution is very intuitive, effective, and easy to use."
"It is easy to use and the performance is good."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"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."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"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."
"The technical support services could be better."
"The product must improve its recovery features."
"The challenge arose due to a space issue. The issue was related to disk breaks, especially when power cuts occurred. One of the disks would break, leading to a loss of functionality."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."
"I would like to see support for databases such as MySQL and MongoDB."
"The configuration can sometimes be tricky during implementation."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance needs to improve its security. It needs to ensure that it is 100 percent protected against cyberattacks."
