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 important feature is that it's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"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."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs."
"When I have had to use tech support, they've been very good."
"It's not easy to scale it."
"Stability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"They have great support."
"Backup/archive to multiple locations."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"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. It depends on Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy, especially for Hyper-V, which has a lot of problems. They should enhance the Volume Shadow Copy functionality. Its reporting should also be better. Reporting is too weak in DPM."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"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."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
"Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the market."
"Network-based storage stability could be improved."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"Unitrends can be challenging to scale."
