We performed a comparison between IBM ProtectTIER, IBM Spectrum Protect, and Veeam Backup & Replication based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use."
"The solution is highly stable."
"In terms of stability, I've found it to be very stable. I've walked into the server room when it was at 60 degrees Celcius, and it was still running fine."
"The command-line interface is good."
"The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data."
"The cataloging is the best feature. It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete."
"The scheduled backups ensure we meet the requirements for our business, and we keep backups of certain environments."
"We have a very good team of administrators who know the product perfectly and are able to manage it on a day-to-day basis."
"Our customers have come to trust IBM."
"The platform has valuable stability."
"It integrates well with Spectrum Scale."
"The solution is not complex, it's very easy to configure agents or VM backup and restore. Upgrades from one version to another are very fast and the product is very stable."
"The backup is very good. In other backup systems, you need a lot of storage to gain the same backup policy."
"It's a very stable product, and we've never had any downtime with it."
"The backup and replication features of this solution are most valuable."
"The whole replication aspect of the solution is excellent because it compresses the data so well."
"It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000."
"I have found the backup call feature very good."
"The solution is very easy to deploy."
"Its portability and being able to back up between different platforms are the most valuable features."
"I'm pleased with the ability to search for documents; it's very useful."
"IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly."
"The backup for a large amount of data is slow."
"I would like the possibility to back up the infrastructure and then replicate it upon on restart, without having to orchestrate the starting of the VM."
"Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times."
"The configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage."
"Our customers would like to see metadata replication, tearing to tape, and more cloud capabilities."
"In a future release, it would be a benefit to have the ability to add an application as a storage target, as a storage pool. Additionally, they should add more functionality to the administration for the Operation Center."
"The most important feature which I wish to be added involves the GUI, the user interface."
"Perhaps if they could add replication to a second site or third site from the same console, that would be helpful. Currently, we have to connect to another console."
"There is room for improvement in IBM Spectrum Protect, especially regarding its support for virtual environment backups."
"Enhancements are required for backing up our virtual environment."
"It would be helpful if the solution included some sort of ransomware protection."
"If IBM could provide a partial module, that would be great."
"The stability for AIX machines could be better."
"There is a lot of room for improvement, but the primary issue we have is that it's not built for the cloud."
"We would like to see support for some additional storage systems."
"There is some complexity we have experienced when using the solution that should be simplified."
"It needs to support more applications. In terms of supported applications, Oracle SQL and Office 365 are supported, but I am not sure if it supports Linux-based applications. That's why I'm looking for an alternative. I am currently testing Commvault. The advantage of Commvault is that a lot of applications are supported with it. I am not sure if CIFS is currently supported. It would be nice to have this feature in case it is not already supported"
"The price can be a bit expensive."
"The implementation was straightforward. However, we used an integrator, the process could be easier for us to do it ourselves."
"It is efficient but can improve security-wise."
