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."Traditional storage works perfectly with it."
"Scalability is pretty much unlimited."
"The addition of the retention set feature provides a reduction in storage costs. It also reduces RTO and RPO so that you can respond quickly to your clients and services in case of data loss."
"I love the TDP for VMware because of the web interface and the possibilities provided by this tool. It's amazing."
"I have found that the most valuable feature is useful documentation and troubleshooting."
"Every time we go and try to get a file, we can get it. Restores are quick and the data is always there."
"Reliability: It has never had a problem with backups or restores. If you store something, it is there."
"We are able to run it in an enterprise quite easily with one or two resources."
"The best point about IBM Storage Protect is that it can use IBM tape environments, which we still use and will continue to use in the future."
"The tool's backup engine is very powerful. Previously, our client finished backup with HPE product in 48 hours. IBM Storage Protect completes backup in 8 hours."
"We are still using TSM Manager for many of our projects to administer our platform because the gap was not resolved with the new Operations Center."
"It doesn't integrate with storage pools, with a normal pool. I'd like to see that."
"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."
"The solution's initial setup process wasn't easy...The solution is overly complicated in terms of architecture, especially compared to other tools in the market."
"The GUI has long been a problem for TSM/Spectrum Protect."
"The solution's ability to integrate with a cloud solution is one area that needs improvement."
"There could be various client systems and process integration included in the product."
"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 solution is expensive."
"The product should improve its GUI. It should also support Windows clustering."
