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."The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"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."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"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 solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"Backups are very easy to implement and schedule, the product is very useful, and the recovery procedure is very extensive and feature-rich."
"We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."
"For my purpose, I find VM Backup to be the most useful, as it gives me the ability to create image-based, incremental backups of VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV VMs."
"The fact that it works with Synology is a big valuable point. Also, that we can check the functionality of a backup so easily. Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product. We can save so much time with Nakivo and are very happy that we found it and loved to use it for our solutions."
"It is affordable."
"The backup for physical machines and replication for the virtual environment are the most valuable aspects."
"It is easy-to-use."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"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."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"An improvement would be to include a general data backup solution that is not only for virtual machines."
"The product needs to improve backup speed and replication speed."
"One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point."
"Compression and data deduplication are okay, but they could be improved."
"The way encryption is currently working could be improved. Currently, it's not possible to encrypt the backup to an NFS share directly. It needs to have the encryption within the Transporter/VM to enable encryption, which isn't optimal. So I'm hoping that in the near future this function will be implemented."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
