We had a problem when we wanted to restore SQL databases. At the time, it did restore well.

Microsoft DPM's is easy to set up.

The initial setup is straightforward. We initially deployed the core backend environment, then the server, and then established the DPM environment. After that we started configuring and testing.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give the initial setup an eight.

The initial setup is straightforward. There is no complexity.

The deployment took about a day, to get the backup sorted out.

The initial setup is straightforward and easy to operate. You can always refer to the documents or to Microsoft's website for any assistance if needed. I rate the process nine out of ten. 

When it comes to installing the solution, you need to know what to do. It's not simple or straightforward. 

For the initial setup and deployment, we had finished everything in about three hours. That's the amount of time we needed for installation and configuration.

In our case, we had one admin that handled the initial setup.

The initial setup wasn't straightforward. There definitely was a learning curve. I would say it was complex.

Due to the steep learning curve, deployment probably took a few months. Once you understand things, you need to look into protection groups and items of that nature. 

I'm still learning new answers to the product. It's an ongoing learning process.

The initial setup was straightforward. It took about an hour. I did it myself.

There were some quirks in the initial setup. I needed to make certain the SQL versions and reporting was completely patched but not necessarily updated. DPM is only happy with certain versions so do not upgrade SQL to the latest and greatest. Follow guidelines laid out on the Microsoft-DPM web sites.

I wouldn't describe the initial setup as complex. It's pretty straightforward.

The deployment doesn't take too long. It takes about an hour in total to do everything you need to do.

Its installation is straightforward. It takes one hour at the most.

The initial setup was really straightforward and we didn't have any challenges. It took us between two and three weeks to deploy.

Deployment time depends on the user case; how many servers you have, etc. However, the basic installation can probably be done in two or three hours. Configuration depends on the products you're backing up, how many there are and the number of servers. I have my own team for deployment and I'm also Microsoft certified.

Straightforward.

The initial setup is very easy. Deployment takes less than an hour.
