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 product's stability is good enough."
"We can use it on-premises and in the cloud."
"This is a very stable product."
"The convenience of backing up and restoring simultaneously is very valuable."
"We recommend this product for people who are running the Oracle Virtualization Manager."
"Commvault gives us a single platform to manage and recover our data. Since we are a research organization, backup is one of the most critical parts of our IT operations and services. Internally, we run it as a managed service, and there is a single console that makes it easy for management to see the performance."
"The cloud integration is a massive win for us, giving us a single backup service for all of our on-premise and cloud systems."
"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."
"The initial setup of IBM Protect Plus is simple and not complex."
"With this product, we now have a reliable backup solution."
"The feature I find most valuable is the offload to Spectrum Protect for long-term retention. I think the deduplication and replication are quite nice on Plus."
"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."
"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."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer."
"What I like about IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its integration, plus it has very good technical support."
"The stability of the tool could be improved."
"The solution's breadth and depth of cloud support are good, but could be better. Some cloud features that are common-sense, especially on AWS, are not completely integrated yet in the product. They are a work-in-progress."
"The functional integration could be better."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."
"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."
"They can improve the security level for Windows. When mapping to the Windows, Commvault can take full control over data volumes so that the attacker can't delete the volume data, but the Windows admin can access the volumes. It would be great to block access at that level."
"Commvault Complete Data Protection would benefit from improving their training resources."
"The integration of Metallic could improve. It would be a benefit if Metallic could integrate with multiple applications or platforms."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"I would like integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"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."
"The software's technical support could improve its response time for different time zones."
"The backup support for IBM Power Virtualization needs to be added."
"The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use."
"It requires much more automation features."
