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 solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"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."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"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 important feature is that it's easy to use."
"It is responding very well, and its performance is good. It has a lot of options. For backup, you can connect it to a cloud or a physical hard drive. They also provide an API for integration with different platforms and products. However, we have not integrated it with another product."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"The solution was stable and reliable."
"The interface, dashboard, and pricing are all perfect."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The usability and interface of the solution are good."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"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."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"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."
"Veritas Backup Exec should be more user-friendly. The costs should also be much lower and it should be easier to go through the disaster recovery process."
"Currently, the solution does not have the capability to restore a single mailbox, so you lose a lot of time having to restore for example ten mailboxes just to recover one."
"One area that needs improvement is SQL backup. Backup Exec doesn't support higher availability."
"I would like to see this solution improve on faster restoration. Currently, it takes a long time to restore my data."
"Veritas Backup Exec should improve by having a user portal that customers can use."
"Expanding is difficult because if I want to add, for example, a terabyte of data, then I have to buy a disk shelf and it will cost me a lot."
"Veritas Backup Exec could improve the analytics. If there were some more detail in our scan reports it would be beneficial."
"I wish that they have an outlet for the other products from Veritas built into the Backup Exec product. For example, Backup Exec does only server backup. Currently, it is possible to read the backup of one other product, but if they can add more products so that you can just go into the dashboard of these other products by clicking on a button within the Backup Exec product, it would be great."
