We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Protect and Iron Mountain Connect 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."Instead of taking three different backups of your systems, you're taking only one. You're able to crack that open and get what you need. The incident recovery, where it creates the VM and then you're running it, technically you're running it on Spectrum Protect. But then in the background, it's doing the storage motion and moving it off the Spectrum Protect back to your VMware environment. The users don't know the difference."
"We can use it with any storage for the back-end to save data."
"The most valuable features of Spectrum Protect would be the compression and the deduplication."
"The most valuable feature for data recovery in IBM Spectrum Protect is its database protection capabilities."
"Data reduction definitely reduces costs, not only software costs, but from the infrastructure needed."
"Every time customers make a change or we have made a change, then they use the product to do a cloning and refreshing. They are happy that they get good performance something changes."
"We are able to run it in an enterprise quite easily with one or two resources."
"The D2D2T archive of my PACS data improved after I put Spectrum Protect 8.1.4 into production."
"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"It's difficult in terms of the configuration at set up. In our case, it required another admin, one person dedicated to the backup."
"If IBM could provide a partial module, that would be great."
"I need to have more than two instances working together. I need a worldwide grid able to have replication between three, four, or five instances."
"The solution should have better integration with VMware and with IBM Spectrum Protect Plus."
"Ease of use. That has got to be the one thing that I routinely hear from clients and customers, that it's a little bit more difficult than it should be. What I'm finding is that IBM has heard that and they're responding with updated interfaces and things like that."
"No one can fix every solution for backup and restore."
"We have had some problems about using storage agents on the X6 environment. It is not quite stable, but it is also not supported in a virtualized environment."
"I am looking forward to new features in the next release. One of the main features is the cloud storage integration, which was one of my main required features. I've had more difficult experiences with other platforms than with this one."
"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
