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."The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"Azure Backup is good because it is entirely cloud-based, which means that you can be 99.9% sure that your backup is safe."
"It offers seamless integration."
"All of the core features are valuable to us."
"The most valuable feature is the ease in which it backs up our data."
"The deployment process is quite easy in Azure."
"It is a stable solution...The product is worth the money you pay for it."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the file recovery and file vault."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"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."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"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 solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The Azure Backup support for on-premises service is limited."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"The tool's backup should be faster. Azure Backup's support should be faster."
"It doesn't have the option to have a backup from the database. It has backup for the files, folders, and backup only the whole virtual machine. But if I need to do a backup from the Oracle database, from an Exchange server or from SharePoint, this ability isn't there. There is no application backup."
"On-prem can be complex to set up but the cloud is simple."
"The user interface is a little bit confusing and it could be better."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"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."
