Asigra and Microsoft DPM are competitors in data protection. While Asigra is appreciated for its flexible pricing and robust support, Microsoft DPM is preferred for its comprehensive feature set, making it a compelling choice for those invested in Microsoft environments.
Features: Asigra offers cloud-integrated backup, extensive scalability, and an agentless framework allowing backing up without installation on servers. Microsoft DPM is well-suited for Microsoft environments, with seamless integration, advanced Windows services backup, and excellent support for Microsoft applications.
Room for Improvement: Asigra could enhance initial setup guidance, optimize resource usage, and expand integration beyond current capabilities. Microsoft DPM might address more straightforward deployment in non-Microsoft environments, reduce dependency on the Microsoft ecosystem, and refine features for improved speed.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Asigra provides quick deployment with easy configuration and reliable support. Microsoft DPM, requiring more time for deployment, benefits from extensive resources and support channels that enhance its integration with Microsoft systems.
Pricing and ROI: Asigra's cost-effective pay-as-you-grow model facilitates quick ROI for a versatile solution. Microsoft DPM, while involving higher initial costs, justifies these through enhanced integration and features, leading to long-term ROI for businesses deepened in Microsoft technology.

Microsoft Data Protection Manager (DPM) is an enterprise backup system that can be used to back up data from a source location to a target secondary location. Microsoft DPM allows you to back up application data from Microsoft servers and workloads, and file data from servers and client computers. You can create full backups, incremental backups, differential backups, and bare-metal backups to completely restore a system. Microsoft DPM can store backup data to disks for short-term storage, to Azure Cloud for both for short-term and long-term storage off-premises, and to tapes for long-term storage, which can then be stored offsite. Backed up files are indexed, which allows you to easily search your recovered data.
Microsoft DPM contributes to your business continuity and disaster recovery strategy by facilitating the backup and recovery of enterprise data, ensuring resources are available and recoverable during planned and unplanned outages. When outages occur and source data is unavailable, you can use DPM to easily restore data to the original source or to an alternate location.

Reviews from Real Users
Microsoft DPM stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its robust and flexible backup capabilities and its being easy to manage with one central dashboard.
William M., the head of ICT infrastructure & security at a tech services company, notes, "The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require. The compatibility is very good. We have an IBM AS/400 machine in our office that we're using, and we're able to back it up fine. This is the same for other systems, as well. I think that overall, it is really adaptable, compatible, and scalable."
Mohammed I., a managing director at Adalites, notes, "I would definitely recommend data protection DPM. It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor. It works flawlessly, never a problem."
Rodney C. a system analyst at a financial services firm, writes, "The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched. This is our primary tool for recovering deleted files or folders. Once we implement a System Center Operations Manager, all of our DPM servers can then be seen on one dashboard."
