We performed a comparison between Code42 Incydr and IBM Spectrum Protect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Security tools: Being able to monitor data going in and coming off our endpoints. Seeing what it is and where it's going is awesome."
"It had the ability to preseed by sending in a data drive and could restore by sending the user a data drive."
"Code42 Next-Gen DLP is scalable."
"Low system overhead, setting retention policies, ease of use"
"Backup and recovery have been great, but I love having the ability to keep the hybrid type build which they offer."
"The solution is very stable. Very rarely do we have any issues with it. We don't have to deal with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We find it to be reliable."
"It has quite a bit of flexibility in configuring backup sets."
"It required very little ongoing maintenance once setup."
"The deduplication and compression features are the most valuable features."
"We can freeze and start databases for consistent backups."
"The product is very stable."
"The tool proves invaluable in scenarios where systems need recovery, such as restoring damaged data."
"It is also a product that has been maturing for a long time. This is good because customers need reliability in their enterprise initiatives."
"The most valuable features of the product are data deduplication and disaster recovery."
"With Spectrum Protect, you can use any type of disk to back-end the repositories. It gave us flexibility to use whatever storage we wanted at our secondary site."
"Data reduction definitely reduces costs, not only software costs, but from the infrastructure needed."
"I think one we can improve is the compression."
"In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue."
"The application, written in Java, required far more system resources on a Client than other solutions."
"I would like to see more flexibility on privileges, perhaps create another kind of admin for regions. Also, I would like the ability to access logs without having to be on the actual device or a super-admin."
"Reporting could use an overhaul. It is very limited."
"Java, please get rid of Java."
"There doesn't seem to be any feature that is lacking."
"You can't always filter out data that you'd like to."
"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."
"We should be talking about the capacity of the tape drives. That's the only problem."
"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 installation process could be simplified."
"I would like to see integration with Copy Data Management, which is an IBM product. Right now, these two products are siloed, so if these two become integrated, the product would become a bit of a powerhouse."
"Customers have migrated off of it because of its lack of virtual environment functions."
"In the next version of the solution, I would like to see cloud support."
"For Spectrum Protect Plus, I would like to see more enhanced reporting features and integration with Spectrum Protect."
