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 backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"I like the tool's speed."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"Large-scale recoveries are very straightforward."
"The API is very good."
"The initial setup of IBM Protect Plus is simple and not complex."
"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 solution integrates well with other tools."
"The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team."
"The most valuable feature is how we can easily power speed up the VM even though the VM resides in remote storage."
"This solution is very stable and has good support available online."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"The software's technical support could improve its response time for different time zones."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"The tool needs to increase the number of threats."
"The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use."
"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 solution only supports HyperV and VMware but doesn't support Nutanix."
"It requires much more automation features."
"The security must be improved."
