"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"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."

"It is a very good and easy-to-use tool for non-technical people."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"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.

Reporting is too weak in DPM."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
