It is free! It comes integrated with vSphere (untill vSphere 6.5)
Ease of use
Getting VDP up and running is a relatively easy task, as once installed, VDP is managed through the familiar vSphere interface. Backup jobs are configured with a wizard that helps the user set policies set for target, schedule, retention and other relevant components.
Its a little bit delicate on the first configuration with the DNS, for larger enterprises there is no problems with this, but, some times, in small deployments, where the costumers don't have a domain or a dedicated DNS server it can be a little tricky to set it up.
Configurability is a little cumbersome.
No single pane of management for large backup environments

A good choice for an organisation looking for recovery management but comes with a caution
The easy of use is one that must be appreciated with VDP and it's extended support for several plugins, which makes it a user friendly software to be implemented across an organisation. However backup takes a very long time, not only in VDP, also in several data protection tools, it could've been better. Also i feel it's too expensive to taken care of.
