Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The setup is pretty straightforward."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"The solution is scalable."
"This is a multi-platform backup solution where you can take a backup from AIX, Windows, or Linux servers and restore from CD, disk, or tape."
"We used to use the solution with tapes a few years ago. We've switched to discs, and it has gotten much faster."
"The most valuable features of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are you have many possibilities on how to use it. We use it for backups and to create secondary and third copies. It is possible to pick up Kubernetes containers and use a different cloud provider if you need to start backups on the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is how we can easily power speed up the VM even though the VM resides in remote storage."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that the product works and helps with restoration areas whenever there is a need to restore something."
"Virtual snapshots that offer incremental backups."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its ease of use. Additionally, it does backups of all of the things we need, such as OS, files, and databases."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"It requires much more automation features."
"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."
"The tool needs to increase the number of threats."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"The software's technical support could improve its response time for different time zones."
"It still needs to grow and add new features. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, I believe, requires time to become competitive due to a weakness in the other software products."
"An area that needs improvement is data validation. We currently use another product that gives us immediate validation, information about when the last backup was, and no risk of corruption happening. TSM in IBM Spectrum is not mature so that you can validate on the spot."
