"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"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 most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"Veritas NetBackup is a scalable solution."
"Veritas NetBackup is a reliable, easy-to-use, and easy-to-deploy solution."
"The main features of this solution are deduplication, compression, ease of use, simplistic user interface, and compatibility with all the backup service systems."

"It's durable — we achieve what we expect from it."
"The solution offers a lot of really great features that organizations can utilize and take advantage of."
"I think the support is fine. We haven't had issues with it."
"It saves time for the backup needs of our organization."
"Management reporting 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."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"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 problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"I would advise not to use this tool. I think between the licensing issues and the older solution mentality it is not a great solution."
"The speed of restoring data could be improved."
"The security and performance could improve with Veritas NetBackup. The security could be improved by protecting the data from attackers."
"It needs support for Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVMs)."
"They need to improve their support. In the beginning, their engineers had trouble understanding the issue we were presenting. It took a lot of conversations for them to start troubleshooting the problem."
"It would be helpful, in future releases, if the solution could add WORM (Write Once Read Many) support right within the product."
"The product must enable data migration from on-premise to the cloud."
"The solution must provide a different way to schedule backups."
