"The solution has been very stable."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"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 backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"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."
"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."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"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."
