"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"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."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"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 automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"With Replication, Veeam allows us to have a duplicated VM on standby."
"Good compression when storing data."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The ability to offload backup snapshots to the SAN helps with reducing the backup durations."
"If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier."
"It's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
"The encryption password is used to protect the backup files. Even if someone gains access to the backup job or files, they won't be able to utilize them without the password."
"For virtualization it's perfect."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"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."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"Its licensing needs to be improved. Its licensing has become complex since last December. They have changed the way the product is licensed, and there is a lot of confusion. Sometimes, when a new version comes, it seems that it has not been tested enough because I usually find some bugs in it. It could also have more integration with other virtualization products, such as desktop virtualization products and open-source virtualization products."
"The stability could be better, specifically in the cloud."
"My biggest issue with Veeam at the moment is how the backup reports are displayed. We use the SolarWinds integration to generate consolidated reports for monitoring purposes, but we aren't getting all the available data shown to us in the way that we want."
"Limited support for environments other than VMware or Microsoft."
"The initial setup was not straightforward at all."
"In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included."
"I think Veeam needs to improve the file installation process, as well as more technical things like snapping feature issues. Sometimes during backup, when it's taking the scan snaps on the ESXi, it started and didn't remove the snapshot from there, which consumed storage on the EXSi. It could be improved with more technical depth. The response time for Veeam's technical support could also be improved."
"It would be ideal if they could capture everything and then timestamp and back up everything up to that timestamp."
