"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"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."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"It's fairly easy to manage and set up."
"Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."
"The initial setup was not overly complex."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines."
"Initially setting up the product is easy."

"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."

"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."
"think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."
"The initial setup was not straightforward at all."
"The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."
"The solution needs more detailed reporting."

"The initial setup can get complex."
"It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by making the monitoring system free. If I would like to have any monitoring system by Veeam I have to purchase it. It should come free with the solution. They should provide a monitoring system to make the work easier and smooth."
