Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery.
"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 support from IBM is very good."
"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."
"Some of the features we find very valuable and use a lot, are retention sets."
"We used to use the solution with tapes a few years ago. We've switched to discs, and it has gotten much faster."
"What I like about IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its integration, plus it has very good technical support."
"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."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is the ease of use."
"It's simply very good software for backup purposes."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"It is a global major solution for quite a lot of people."
"Replication is most valuable."
"Management interface was simple to use once understood."
"We are quite satisfied with the performance and reliability of the NetBackup product. When it comes to specific features, the most valuable is the Instant Recovery feature, which we call "short-term IR". Instant Recovery allows users to spin up backup images and bring back any VM instantly."
"It is easy to use, and you can run it with all kinds of client software environments. It works well with the most popular software, file systems, and operating systems. It is very useful to us."
"I like the cross-platform features."
"If you are running on a legacy tape environment NetBackup is best."
"I like that it's enterprise-capable. It can handle multiple operating systems. It can handle multiple database types. It can handle a lot of different backup use cases. It's flexible."
"Veritas NetBackup is a reliable, easy-to-use, and easy-to-deploy solution."
"I can rely on this product if I need a restore."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"The one issue we are facing is related to file restores."
"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"It still needs to grow and add new features. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, I believe, requires time to become competitive due to a weakness in the other software products."
"The replication feature is not available."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
"The backup support for IBM Power Virtualization needs to be added."
"I would like more integration with security. We need to show the value of the product in regards to handling security. For example, how it handles current malware or viruses. IBM should be more proactive in this direction."
"The deduplication feature could be improved by changing to global deduplication."
"The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."
"If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail."
"There is some complexity we have experienced when using the solution that should be simplified."
"When you have some small issues, you should be able to go through it by yourself and solve the issue instead of opening the ticket and waiting for the engineers to troubleshoot."
"While the Veeam Backup Replication tool can mostly back up all the data in the environment, the AIX from IBM backup capabilities nowadays could stand improvement as they are not featured on a single pane of glass."
"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 physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
"Improvements can be made to the service by providing better and more competitive ratios on data backups. The functionality for backups is there with Veritas, but I would like to see them optimize and enhance this feature more."
"It would be better if it had a cloud integration feature. I would like to use a single product for the cloud instances and the on-premise instances. The price could also be better."
"The solution's technical support process should be improved."
"The pricing could be improved, and the interface could be more intuitive."
"The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved."
"I think reporting can always be improved."
"The restore tool is not friendly to newcomers."
"The solution could have a more clear dashboard about the license and the operation status."
