"The solution's stability is high because it is derived from Spectrum Protect."
"The most valuable features are the API features because it allows you to integrate with your Microsoft SQL, your Oracle, and your IBM Db2."
"The most valuable features of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are you have many possibilities on how to use it. We use it for backups and to create secondary and third copies. It is possible to pick up Kubernetes containers and use a different cloud provider if you need to start backups on the cloud."
"The initial setup of IBM Protect Plus is simple and not complex."
"The feature I find most valuable is the offload to Spectrum Protect for long-term retention. I think the deduplication and replication are quite nice on Plus."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"The solution integrates well with other tools."
"The support from IBM is very good."
"The solution just works consistently. I never have issues with it."
"The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V."
"The solution is a user-friendly interface."
"It's fairly easy to manage and set up."
"The initial setup is simple to do in Veeam Backup Replication."
"Most of the features that we can use with HPE products are directly integrated with the Veeam. This is very important for the customers to have only one pane of glass to manage the backups and also use the HPE products for the backups."
"No problems with stability."
"It is a powerful software for communicating with the storage and for redundancy."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
"The solution should allow for backup of iOS snapshots."
"Their first level of support can be improved. Often they are too junior to understand the issues we are having, and it takes too much time to get from them to the next level of support, which is what we actually need."
"It still needs to grow and add new features. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, I believe, requires time to become competitive due to a weakness in the other software products."
"The tool needs to increase the number of threats."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"Although the solution offers documentation, it has it only in English, which doesn't help us much in Belarus."
"It would be nice if it could be integrated with third-party solutions like ours. It has been supporting just Windows and virtual machines."
"Some of the best practice documentation could be improved."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."
"Add an archive option to support legal obligations."
"A backup and replication solution should be able to back up a system and do recovery very fast. Even though Veeam Backup & Replication is able to meet most of our needs, it would be better if they can make it faster for backup and restore."
"CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP. There is a chance to improve CDP and make it much easier for the customers."
"Margins should not be distinct; instead, they should seamlessly integrate with the Veeam Backup and Replication tools, requiring minimal separation."
