We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Microsoft DPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Cloud integration."
"Commvault provides the status of a backup or restore operation."
"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"Quick backups and restores of data are the most valuable features. It is important that it is an easy solution to integrate with the SAML authentication of our tenant, so we can have our users log into the systems and do their own restores, if needed."
"It provides us a good holistic view of everything that we have backed up so far. It also provides us all the recovery points. If we look at an an object that has been backed up, we can tell how many retention copies it has, how far we can go, and recover any data, if needed."
"Real-time synchronization is a good feature."
"The product is a reliable solution."
"It's a complete software that can protect all the main applications. Perhaps that's the feature I like most. The integration with the NetApp and other apps is also very nice."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"Its technical support could be better."
"The back of virtual machines needs improvement. I know they're working on it. They're always doing new things but I think they still have a little bit more to do."
"I just wanted to compare the features, which are there in EMC NetWorker, which are not available in Commvault. We have things using Networker."
"The setup was a little bit difficult for a non-IT person like me. My OneDrive is protected by multifactor authentication, and to get the backup to begin behind that multifactor authentication took a little bit of almost customized support, even though I was following the instructions and the videos. That process could have been easier."
"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"Mostly controls, visibility, cost allocation."
"We are using a production environment with customer-sensitive data on it. As per our central bank rules and regulations, we can't keep our customer's sensitive data in the cloud."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"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."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"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."
