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."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The solution has been very stable."
"You can do restores very quickly. You can mount a drive and restore it right from the drive."
"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."
"The tool proves invaluable in scenarios where systems need recovery, such as restoring damaged data."
"The solution is really scalable."
"It is also a product that has been maturing for a long time. This is good because customers need reliability in their enterprise initiatives."
"We do not lose data. That is why we are using this product and have a backup in place."
"The most valuable feature for data recovery in IBM Spectrum Protect is its database protection capabilities."
"The D2D2T archive of my PACS data improved after I put Spectrum Protect 8.1.4 into production."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"Its management part can be better and simplified. It is kind of a beast as compared to Commvault or Veeam, but they are more user-friendly. They are also easier to learn, whereas Spectrum Protect definitely takes time. They should simplify it. Our teams are pretty comfortable with it because we have been using it for a long time, but from the perspective of a new user who is evaluating or using this solution, it is definitely more complex in terms of manageability. Its monitoring could be improved so that it can even monitor the jobs that are scheduled by external schedulers. There are situations where a database team might decide to use their own schedulers, but currently, Spectrum Protect is not able to catch those jobs in the Operation Manager console."
"There have been some sizing issues now, and we are dealing with those."
"It could use single store. The ability to mark an archive from my backup for long-term retention."
"It would be helpful if the solution included some sort of ransomware protection."
"I want a better user interface, support, and integrations."
"They should have a proper technical support team serving the customers and get issues resolved earlier."
"This solution is not mature in terms of disaster recovery and could be improved."
"There were scalability issues only in the brand new features which were recently released."
