"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"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 initial setup is very straightforward."
"I love Veeam because it is very easy to work with."
"The solution is useful for taking backups for end-user laptops and end-user workstations where data is involved."
"The installation of Veeam Agent is straightforward."
"This is a reliable system that supports Veeam backup and recovery for Windows."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to navigate inside a backup point to look for a specific folder or data you want to recover."
"Veeam is very useful for the Hyper-V environment."
"The solution is meeting all of our client's requirements. It has good performance."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"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."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"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."
"There should be an option to use the solution for physical machines."
"While the Veeam agent is perfect, sometimes the agent doesn't install in Windows."
"The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete."
"The compression ratio and application ratio could still be improved in this solution. Reporting could also be improved, for better monitoring."
"An area that this solution could be improved would be with the licensing."
"We need some sort of security for backups and archives."
"Updating and configuration can sometimes be a little bit of a hassel, but once you know the product better it is easy to use."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes."
