Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"One of the main things that I like about IBM is the versioning of the data - meaning that we can have multiple versions of a file or directory of a server."
"I find the whole product useful. The backup archive client, snapshot, spectrum for virtual environments are beneficial features."
"It is an IBM product. With SAP, you are using IBM software to protect it. DB2 and AIX servers are both IBM. Therefore, it is a total IBM solution, which helps."
"It is also a product that has been maturing for a long time. This is good because customers need reliability in their enterprise initiatives."
"It has a lot more capabilities and functions than a lot of other products. Even though it is more complex, the reason is because it gives you a lot more features. This is what I prefer, especially for a long retention."
"Our customers have come to trust IBM."
"It is pretty scalable. It will scale to anything."
"Technical support is okay. We have not had many issues with them."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"Getting technical support all the necessary diagnostic information is still very painful."
"They can include more cloud-enriching features. I would like IBM Spectrum Protect to have the functionality for backing up a VM directly in Azure. I would like to be able to back up a VM directly in Azure without spinning up a Hyper-V cluster and backing up the virtual server."
"It lacks reporting and an efficient alert mechanism. The GUI could also be improved."
"Replication services would be nice. If these could be enhanced to be always on so multiple storage backup services could be added as a cluster pool. This would provide a better availability service."
"The GUI has long been a problem for TSM/Spectrum Protect."
"I would like a little more ease with the virtual platforms, because it is a huge thing that is coming up."
"We are not so happy with the technical support because dealing with them is not easy. We have a very complicated environment, therefore I understand for a support person that it is not easy to troubleshoot it."
"Ease of use. That has got to be the one thing that I routinely hear from clients and customers, that it's a little bit more difficult than it should be. What I'm finding is that IBM has heard that and they're responding with updated interfaces and things like that."
