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 user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"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."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"The tool is good for VMware environments."
"The solution is quite easy to configure."
"The platform has a useful disaster recovery feature."
"The tool is fast and trustworthy."
"Veeam Data Platform manages and protects data across multiple cloud environments amazingly."
"Continuous Data Protection is a game-changing technology."
"The most valuable addition recently introduced is the Continuous Data Protection feature."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
"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."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"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."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"Veeam does image-based backups, whether it be of virtual machines or physical workloads, and they are able to back up general applications like Active Directory, SQL, Exchange, or SharePoint. Sometimes, even Oracle and SAP. But still, there are many customers using other types of databases that Veeam does not natively support. For example, in the Linux area, MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported, but with many limitations. Like, if a customer is running a Postgres cluster, Veeam does not support that."
"The solution's pricing may be expensive compared to other products."
"Since the solution has many options, it is not easier to give tasks to schedule it."
"The product's pricing is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"SureBackup is sometimes a bit difficult to use."
"The product must provide better security."
"Apart from security improvements, enhancing compatibility with various platforms and addressing limitations related to integration and verification would be beneficial."
"It would be beneficial if it could expand its coverage to support Frostbox and provide greater flexibility for service providers to recommend backup solutions based on customer preferences in prospective environments."
