Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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 agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"The solution has been very stable."
"We can use it with any storage for the back-end to save data."
"The customization and the ability to backup across all platforms are the most valuable features."
"It helps our customers protect their data, keep it long-term, and feel pretty secure about it, basically sleeping well at night."
"The most valuable features of Spectrum Protect would be the compression and the deduplication."
"With the new features that we have added, it has made a difference as far as faster recovery and speed."
"The MN backup for a cluster is most valuable because it has made backing up the GSF as a zero-file system easier. I like its stability a lot. Over the years, I very rarely had a problem with it."
"One of the features which is most interesting in Spectrum Protect is the ability to scale out to great environments. This is something that not many vendors have on the market."
"The backup is very good. In other backup systems, you need a lot of storage to gain the same backup policy."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"There needs to be a bit more automation."
"The solution's initial setup process wasn't easy...The solution is overly complicated in terms of architecture, especially compared to other tools in the market."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The user interface (UI) for the admin is still not good. It is way too complicated to manage the product, as we still need to use command line. IBM launched the Operations Center (OC), but there are still functions lacking, especially since we cannot manage all our scheduled tasks by using the GUI."
"Scalability is poor. As you get to bigger environments, this is where our gaps have been introduced. As we have grown over the past couple of years, the gaps have become more apparent."
"Although I am not a technical user, I would say the cloud integration features could be improved."
"I would like to see more technical training online. Sometimes, it is a little bit difficult to find, or that I do not really know what I am looking for as somebody who is starting off finding their learning curve."
"For Spectrum Protect Plus, I would like to see more enhanced reporting features and integration with Spectrum Protect."
