Microsoft DPM and Rocket Servergraph are products in the data protection and management category. Microsoft DPM is advantageous in pricing and customer service, whereas Rocket Servergraph offers a more feature-rich experience.
Features: Microsoft DPM delivers comprehensive data backup and recovery capabilities, smooth integration with Microsoft environments, and focuses on user-friendliness within its ecosystem. Rocket Servergraph provides detailed reporting and analysis, supports diverse environments, and is suitable for complex, multi-platform requirements.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft DPM is easy to deploy within Windows-based environments and receives praise for its customer support. Rocket Servergraph involves a more complex setup due to its cross-platform functionality but offers extensive documentation and expert assistance.
Pricing and ROI: Microsoft DPM is generally more cost-effective initially, especially for those leveraging existing Microsoft infrastructure. Rocket Servergraph requires a larger investment but offers high ROI with its advanced analytics and compatibility for larger enterprises with complex needs.
Microsoft Data Protection Manager (DPM) is an enterprise backup system that can be used to back up data from a source location to a target secondary location. Microsoft DPM allows you to back up application data from Microsoft servers and workloads, and file data from servers and client computers. You can create full backups, incremental backups, differential backups, and bare-metal backups to completely restore a system. Microsoft DPM can store backup data to disks for short-term storage, to Azure Cloud for both for short-term and long-term storage off-premises, and to tapes for long-term storage, which can then be stored offsite. Backed up files are indexed, which allows you to easily search your recovered data.
Microsoft DPM contributes to your business continuity and disaster recovery strategy by facilitating the backup and recovery of enterprise data, ensuring resources are available and recoverable during planned and unplanned outages. When outages occur and source data is unavailable, you can use DPM to easily restore data to the original source or to an alternate location.

Reviews from Real Users
Microsoft DPM stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its robust and flexible backup capabilities and its being easy to manage with one central dashboard.
William M., the head of ICT infrastructure & security at a tech services company, notes, "The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require. The compatibility is very good. We have an IBM AS/400 machine in our office that we're using, and we're able to back it up fine. This is the same for other systems, as well. I think that overall, it is really adaptable, compatible, and scalable."
Mohammed I., a managing director at Adalites, notes, "I would definitely recommend data protection DPM. It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor. It works flawlessly, never a problem."
Rodney C. a system analyst at a financial services firm, writes, "The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched. This is our primary tool for recovering deleted files or folders. Once we implement a System Center Operations Manager, all of our DPM servers can then be seen on one dashboard."
Rocket® Servergraph® solutions make it easy to understand what's happening in your backup environment. You can automate daily backups and get prioritized real-time alerts, and get insight into heterogeneous backup environments from a single view.
