Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."We also really benefit from the GUI capabilities."
"The initial setup is simple."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The product’s data retention is very good."
"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."
"The product's most valuable feature is stability."
"The implementation is straightforward."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"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."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"The platform's price could be lower."
"HPE should have more options so customers can choose from a wide range of products with small to big capacities."
"The solution must provide backup options for smaller capacities."
"The appliance doesn't have the global deduplication, it has StoreOnce deduplication. It does not deduplicate across the appliance, it will deduplicate in one particular store. With the global deduplication, I could store more data."
"Agnostic backups."
"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."
"I don't see any new features that we could want or anything that could be done along those lines. Just that we need a bigger machine, so more speed."
"The solution's technical support should be faster."
"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."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"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."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
