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."
"The solution has been very stable."
"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."
"IBM support is friendly, knowledgeable, and they always respond quickly. They've always been able to find the cause of my problem."
"Forever incremental - allows TSM to optimize storage needs."
"Scalability is pretty much unlimited."
"You can do restores very quickly. You can mount a drive and restore it right from the drive."
"Scalability, performance, mass platform coverage. It's one of the few backup products on the market right now which an organization can bring in and it will serve all of their backup needs. It's a completely centralized solution."
"It scales from very small to very large. It is easily the most scalable product out there."
"The most valuable features are compression and de-duplication."
"It is scalable beyond anything my customers ever aspire to."
"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."
"I would like to see monitoring within the platform: monitoring for storage pools and monitoring for the server's health (e.g., CPU and memory)."
"The main admin console from the UI cannot do anything in the product. It just allows us to maintain, maybe, 30% to 40%. For the rest, we have to use the command line."
"If IBM could provide a partial module, that would be great."
"This product should be more user-friendly for newcomers."
"We would like to see cloud integration."
"We are still using TSM Manager for many of our projects to administer our platform because the gap was not resolved with the new Operations Center."
"The software is complex; setup is complex."
