"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 valuable feature is the recovery."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"I like the core backup feature. I also like the file server backup feature. I find Microsoft DPM interesting because it has fantastic integration with Microsoft products. For example, in Exchange and SharePoint, DPM is excellent when it comes to backing up data. It also does a decent job with open-source products."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"Get only one interface to manage all backup sites, secure them with replication, and manage outside LTO media."
"It's a pretty complete product."
"No problems with stability."
"The product is very simple in its design. We don't need it to perform complicated tasks."
"Pricing is fairly reasonable and not overly expensive."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is the ease of use."
"It's got a very good user-friendly interface. It's easy to use."
"The product allows us to use data more efficiently, reducing the cost of storage and backup time. It is vital to have data available in the shortest possible time."
"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."
"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 user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"Multithreading of health check process: This can take too much time to process on large jobs and/or large VMs."
"Unfortunately, the software only runs on Windows."
"I have issues with the licensing."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"There is some complexity we have experienced when using the solution that should be simplified."
"Veeam Backup Replication is a bit difficult to use. If you have used other solutions such as Commvault, you will find it is much easier to use. Veeam Backup Replication does backups in a different way that is not as simple as other solutions. Doing backups of SQL Servers is much easier in Commvault. However, the difficulty could be the lack of experience I have had with Veeam Backup Replication."
"The price can be better."
"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
