We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Protect Plus and Veeam Backup & Replication 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."If the system were to go down, we needed to make sure that the system could be recovered and available as soon as possible. Spectrum Protect provides you access to directly bind the backup volume to the server and make the system available instead of restoring it and copying the system."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The solution offers a very straightforward deployment. You click, click, click and it's done. There's not much configuration to do."
"What I like about IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its integration, plus it has very good technical support."
"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."
"Virtual snapshots that offer incremental backups."
"The most valuable features are the API features because it allows you to integrate with your Microsoft SQL, your Oracle, and your IBM Db2."
"We used to use the solution with tapes a few years ago. We've switched to discs, and it has gotten much faster."
"For virtualization it's perfect."
"One of the most valuable features is the integration. Another good feature is the instant recovery."
"The solution is very easy to deploy."
"The advantage of Veeam Backup and Replication is that it is very economical. The price is affordable and the cost benefit is good."
"They provide good technical support and we are satisfied with the support we have received."
"The whole replication aspect of the solution is excellent because it compresses the data so well."
"The initial setup was not overly complex."
"The backup and replication features are most valuable."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
"Rooms for improvement in IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are installation and configuration because those were difficult. They should try their best to improve those areas. In the next release of the product, better implementation and administration are what we're expecting."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve the IBM Spectrum Protect environment. It can be difficult to administer. The initial configuration can be difficult for entry-level teams or deployment teams, and it might be difficult to integrate. There's just too much content involved in the solution. The documentation is way too large."
"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"It requires much more automation features."
"I would like more integration with security. We need to show the value of the product in regards to handling security. For example, how it handles current malware or viruses. IBM should be more proactive in this direction."
"It could use DR features similar to Zerto."
"If you do not use the standard software and you go with a third-party solution such as this one, it might not work the same. There is an integration issue I understand between the database standards."
"The cost needs to be considered."
"Its native capability for talking to the public cloud needs improvement. Connecting to a public cloud is a little bit more of a challenge when it comes to Veeam than it is with Rubrik or Commvault. There are still some hoops that you got to jump through in order to send Veeam backups out to public cloud repositories. It is not as simple as it is with other products."
"The solution could improve by having a version to be compatible with the Linux system. They have improved the storage depository using the Linux proxy and Linux storage, but it can completely run on the Linux environment it would be much better."
"In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included."
"The Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
