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 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."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"The solution integrates well with other tools."
"What I like about IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its integration, plus it has very good technical support."
"This solution is very stable and has good support available online."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"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."
"Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000."
"I consider the solution's technical support to be excellent, perfect."
"The ntegration of physical agents with our cloud connect service is positive."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"The granular restoration that it provides for a business application is most valuable. For example, for Exchange, we can restore a single mailbox or email. We can also do SQL Server restoration and bare-metal recovery for operating systems."
"Very reliable and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
"The integration of Veeam Backup Replication is very good."
"It requires much more automation features."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use."
"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."
"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."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"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 terms of what can be improved, I would say they could add automations for disaster migrations and for reverse replication. Overall, they need more automation."
"The more features the solution has the more complex it can be to set up. Veeam Backup & Replication can be complex."
"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
"I would like to have the capability of backing up a physical machine, as opposed to just a VM."
"They need a better solution for backend storage."
"Its licensing needs to be improved. Its licensing has become complex since last December. They have changed the way the product is licensed, and there is a lot of confusion. Sometimes, when a new version comes, it seems that it has not been tested enough because I usually find some bugs in it. It could also have more integration with other virtualization products, such as desktop virtualization products and open-source virtualization products."
"Veeam Backup is not enhanced. There aren't any enhancements yet and they are still using traditional methods for snapshots and to perform the backup, like many other vendors. Another improvement would be simplifying and integrating their software."
"The virtual sandboxes seem complex to setup, so I have not invested time in leveraging this feature. It would be nice if this feature was more user-friendly."
