Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"Support of the IBM X platform and the backup data replication to DR are the most valuable features."
"The way it covers backup and archive needs. The flexibility of backup copy group always allows me to cover the customer's requests."
"Our performance is better."
"Disk-based implementation of a data protection solution for multiple sites is a better fit for my complex data protection needs."
"All other products contain the same features, but when I'm backing up an IBM Power server I feel more comfortable with IBM Spectrum Protect because it's the same vendor."
"IBM Spectrum Protect is a scalable solution."
"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."
"by backing up only the changed data, we average around 75TB per night. If we had to do full backups, even occasionally, we would not be able to complete the backup within 12 hours, or we would have to make a large investment to fit a full backup within the 12 hour window."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"When it comes to virtualization in IBM it's not perfect."
"Getting technical support all the necessary diagnostic information is still very painful."
"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 only thing that I would like to have a little more of is insight in reporting. I find that Spectrum Protect needs a lot of monitoring, and I have to actually log into the servers."
"We would like to see cloud integration."
"Technical support could be improved."
"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."
"IBM Spectrum Protect is not a very user-friendly tool."
