We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, Quest Rapid Recovery, and Rubrik based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that the product works and helps with restoration areas whenever there is a need to restore something."
"Some of the features we find very valuable and use a lot, are retention sets."
"This solution is very stable and has good support available online."
"The most valuable feature is how we can easily power speed up the VM even though the VM resides in remote storage."
"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's stability is high because it is derived from Spectrum Protect."
"With this product, we now have a reliable backup solution."
"The support from IBM is very good."
"Definitely, the mount and recovery points are the most valuable, because if someone deletes a file or something, or if something gets corrupted, we can always revert back to an old change because our repository goes about a month back. The ability to roll back files and the ability to roll back servers is really important."
"The compression and deduplication features have helped to save on storage costs."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to back up a physical server to another physical or virtual server."
"The general backup for replication and virtual standby are the most valuable aspects. It does what it says it does. It's a decent tool for not a big budget."
"Not having to switch tapes is wonderful. It makes it so easy. We have an on-prem deployment that we also replicate to an offsite replication host. So by not having to deal with tapes and moving them off-site every day and every week, that's amazing ease of use for us."
"The best feature of the solution is the user interface."
"The most valuable feature of Quest Rapid Recovery for our organization is the VM recovery functionality."
"Built-in encryption helps to secure our data as it travels from our on-site server to our off-site backup server."
"We have a great success rate for backups with Rubrik and because of the ease of automating tasks, we also run periodical restores to check the quality of the backups."
"Takes me 80 percent less time to manage my backup environment."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"I don't know if it is the best or the worst but it's very easy to install and very easy to balance. Sometimes that it's a problem because the installer of these data gets extremely scared because it's so easy. The product is easy to install, easy to balance, and easy to work with. Another really good point is the instant recovery."
"One platform for instant recovery."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
"It has a streamlined user interface, provides an improved tech support experience, and reduces time required to locate and restore data."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"The tool needs to increase the number of threats."
"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"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."
"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."
"Rooms for improvement in IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are installation and configuration because those were difficult. They should try their best to improve those areas. In the next release of the product, better implementation and administration are what we're expecting."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve security."
"The one issue we are facing is related to file restores."
"In case, if there is anything, it would be the speed of the operation to be finished. Even then, I can easily work on the storing function before the operation is finished."
"For the most part, it is really good in terms of flexibility and choice of recovery methods. What we found lacking was being able to back up virtual volumes that are clustered. We ran out of luck there. There should be an option for backing up clustered virtual volumes."
"You can only take a snapshot from a virtual environment. It should have the ability to take snapshots from both a virtual and physical environment."
"It's buggy. That's a big problem. We're arranging to get rid of it. We're going to switch to Veeam."
"The on-premises deployment model shouldn't have a maintenance fee. If there's going to be technical support, they need it to be free or it should be paid on upon adopting the solution."
"The terminology didn't seem easily available. When I go to the website, it is hard to search for things. You get all the articles, then you finally get the search button. They need the search at the top of the knowledge base. Then, on occasion, if you get an error message in the system, which is very important, it says, "Click here for more information," but I never get more information. The search engine doesn't find it or it is some weird error. It has never worked for me."
"It is quite surprising to me that the configuration cannot be backed up automatically, and I think that Rapid Recovery should have an option for scheduled configuration backup."
"Rapid Recovery can only backup the machine or disc, but it can't back up from folders, and files, and things like that."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"They support Hyper-V and it works with our CloudOut, the cloud DR, but they seem to add features for VMware first and Hyper-V gets added second or sometimes several releases after the VMware feature comes out."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
"The product’s user interface needs improvement."
"Rubrik is expensive."
