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 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 support from IBM is very good."
"The API is very good."
"What I like about IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its integration, plus it has very good technical support."
"The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer."
"The solution integrates well with other tools."
"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 feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its ease of use. Additionally, it does backups of all of the things we need, such as OS, files, and databases."
"Veeam replication gives migration tools/options for VMware."
"The ability to offload backup snapshots to the SAN helps with reducing the backup durations."
"Veeam Backup Replication is stable I have not had any problems."
"One of the most valuable features is the simplicity of the solution's administration."
"I know it's not exactly a feature, but I accept it works and it's easy to use. With the Veeam Backup & Replication, we have no problems in managing restore. Obviously, the most important thing about backup software. I used to say that every backup software can make backups, but only good ones can make a restore."
"The product could be improved if they wrote more PowerShell scripts for controlling Veeam."
"It's fairly easy to manage and set up."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"Instead of using the command prompt for troubleshooting and administering the backup, there should be an easy-to-use graphical user interface."
"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"The solution only supports HyperV and VMware but doesn't support Nutanix."
"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."
"The security must be improved."
"I would like more integration with security. We need to show the value of the product in regards to handling security. For example, how it handles current malware or viruses. IBM should be more proactive in this direction."
"I would like integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores."
"The solution should allow for backup of iOS snapshots."
"It would be nice to see more affordable training options for individuals who want to enhance their skills. Some people I know have been interested in training courses, but they found them too expensive."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."
"It would be ideal if users could know that their data is backed up and have some security functionality where you can actually use the backup to spin up a new cluster and take it from there."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"They need a better solution for backend storage."
"If they could add more support for all of the modern hypervisors, that would make Veeam much better and more flexible to work with. For example, there is no solution for VM to VM replication when it comes to Oracle OEM servers."
"The Veeam portal should be better integrated with all the parts of the new release. But there's always a workaround to replicate the new solution. I'd like to have better integration with other solutions like SAP."
"Physical backup is always where room for improvement could be but Veeam has always stated they are not going in that direction."
