We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Protect Plus and Rubrik based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution is very stable and has good support available online."
"This is a multi-platform backup solution where you can take a backup from AIX, Windows, or Linux servers and restore from CD, disk, or tape."
"The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer."
"We used to use the solution with tapes a few years ago. We've switched to discs, and it has gotten much faster."
"The most valuable feature is how we can easily power speed up the VM even though the VM resides in remote storage."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is the deduplication functionality. The clients moved to this solution originally because of this feature."
"Some of the features we find very valuable and use a lot, are retention sets."
"The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team."
"Time dedicated to backup was drastically reduced."
"The ease of use and innovation are the features that stand out for us."
"Product support team is excellent, with issues typically being resolved on the same day."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"The web interface is user-friendly, clean, and it provides a good summary of what you're protecting at a glance."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is a very simple system compared to just about any other back up technology. It is extremely easy to use and very versatile."
"Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing."
"Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production"
"The one issue we are facing is related to file restores."
"I would like to see continuous data protection (CDP). If there is machine failure, you don't have to go to the backup copy that you took 12 hours ago. You can actually go back to the backup copy made half an hour ago. That is, it would be good to have certain-point-in-time recovery."
"Instead of using the command prompt for troubleshooting and administering the backup, there should be an easy-to-use graphical user interface."
"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."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve security."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."
"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it'd be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"The Office 365 protection could be improved."
"I would like to see Rubrik better integrate with Microsoft Active Directory. Instead of just backing up a full domain controller, I would like the solution to have Active Directory object knowledge so we can restore specific objects in Active Directory versus restoring the whole domain controller."
"The functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
"In terms of what could be improved with Rubrik, we need to improve the backup for remote sites. The competitors are stronger in terms of their remote office back up. Rubrik needs to improve to be stronger for backup. This is the main thing."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover."
