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."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
"Our customers have come to trust IBM."
"The D2D2T archive of my PACS data improved after I put Spectrum Protect 8.1.4 into production."
"For initial setup, we started with the blueprints, which were great. The blueprints allowed us to be able to decide if we needed to use small, medium,k or large. Because we are a large environment, we used a large blueprint. Once we followed everything in the blueprint, it was a smooth transition from there."
"It scales from very small to very large. It is easily the most scalable product out there."
"The business value comes from the capability to overcome data losses."
"Once setup, you do not need to touch it again. You just need to do a formal check on possibly batch updates."
"You can do restores very quickly. You can mount a drive and restore it right from the drive."
"The most valuable features of the product are data deduplication and disaster recovery."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"We have run into some periods where we have found some tape issues which were causing us problems, but we resolved them. For some reason, we had a bunch of drives go offline on our disk storage (our virtual library)."
"I would like to see the operations center be a lot more functional. It was nowhere near as functional as the admin center, and I'm doing a lot of command line with it."
"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."
"The solution needs to work on disaster recovery integration. Basically, VMware applications to the cloud, for example. There needs to be integration with the storage, and integration with VMware."
"They do not have a unified GUI, they only work on CLI and operations center, which is really complicated for the installation and configuration."
"The most important feature which I wish to be added involves the GUI, the user interface."
"Perhaps some better documentation, which I believe was better in the past."
"There is room for improvement in IBM Spectrum Protect, especially regarding its support for virtual environment backups."
