Microsoft DPM can be considered an expensive solution for smaller or medium enterprises, but we have been satisfied with the price structure as it is fixed and offers a variety of useful features. I would rate it seven out of ten.

Microsoft DPM is a free solution. However, we pay approximately $3,000 annually for support.

I bought the license for the solution from Microsoft as part of System Center. I'm not sure of the exact cost of the solution.
Other than the SQL Server license, the cost factor is appealing. There is a learning curve, like any other solution.
