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 solution's stability is high because it is derived from Spectrum Protect."
"Virtual snapshots that offer incremental backups."
"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."
"The solution offers a very straightforward deployment. You click, click, click and it's done. There's not much configuration to do."
"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."
"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 initial setup of IBM Protect Plus is simple and not complex."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"The user interface is good."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"It requires much more automation features."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"I would like integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores."
"The solution only supports HyperV and VMware but doesn't support Nutanix."
"The replication feature is not available."
"I would like to see continuous data protection (CDP). If there is machine failure, you don't have to go to the backup copy that you took 12 hours ago. You can actually go back to the backup copy made half an hour ago. That is, it would be good to have certain-point-in-time recovery."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
