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."The API is very good."
"The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team."
"Large-scale recoveries are very straightforward."
"We used to use the solution with tapes a few years ago. We've switched to discs, and it has gotten much faster."
"What I like about IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its integration, plus it has very good technical support."
"The most valuable feature is how we can easily power speed up the VM even though the VM resides in remote storage."
"Virtual snapshots that offer incremental backups."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"I think the interface is straightforward"
"It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable."
"Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000."
"It is a good product, in regards to performance, as well as data protection."
"The data backup replication has been the most useful feature. Previously, we copied the data hub to an external hard drive but now we are able to store the backup on one of the depository service."
"Replication is the most valuable feature."
"It's relatively easy to use and the ability to recover in a short period of time has been great."
"It is a stable and scalable solution that's easy to operate and restore."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve the IBM Spectrum Protect environment. It can be difficult to administer. The initial configuration can be difficult for entry-level teams or deployment teams, and it might be difficult to integrate. There's just too much content involved in the solution. The documentation is way too large."
"An area that needs improvement is data validation. We currently use another product that gives us immediate validation, information about when the last backup was, and no risk of corruption happening. TSM in IBM Spectrum is not mature so that you can validate on the spot."
"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"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 Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"I would like integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores."
"The one issue we are facing is related to file restores."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say they could add automations for disaster migrations and for reverse replication. Overall, they need more automation."
"The price could be lower."
"I would like a solution for SAP systems to be included."
"I would like them to move back to host licensing."
"Could offer a better conclusion of the backups."
"The patching can be quite difficult at times."
"They need a better solution for backend storage."
"Physical backup is always where room for improvement could be but Veeam has always stated they are not going in that direction."
