We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, Rubrik, and Unitrends based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."A full-featured data protection solution that is reliable and stable."
"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."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"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 most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with Oracle."
"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 API is very good."
"The product's most valuable feature is the immutability of a backup."
"What I like about Rubrik is its strong focus on security, particularly in combating ransomware threats."
"Replaces legacy tapes and disk backups which are unreliable, expensive and space consuming."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik for me is its user-friendliness and efficiency."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"The live mounting and compatibility of different operating systems is great."
"Product support team is excellent, with issues typically being resolved on the same day."
"Intelligent agent technology."
"Iinstant recovery (allows a spin-up of your image as a VM on the appliance)."
"Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"It is a quick and easy way to organize my backups and to keep track of them."
"What I found most valuable in Unitrends is its simple user interface. It also works reliably."
"The simple and fast restore routine."
"It's not easy to scale it."
"The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks."
"The solution only supports HyperV and VMware but doesn't support Nutanix."
"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."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
"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."
"An area that needs improvement is data validation. We currently use another product that gives us immediate validation, information about when the last backup was, and no risk of corruption happening. TSM in IBM Spectrum is not mature so that you can validate on the spot."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"The backup support for IBM Power Virtualization needs to be added."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
"The only thing that can be improved is catering for open source databases because at the moment it doesn't cater for Mongo, MySQL, and Postgres."
"The main pain points we experienced was the stability of the system. We received a lot of instability when we have upgraded from a certain version to a new version. The newer version was completely filled with bugs and we needed to purge the system every week until we update to a newer version that was available one year later. The stability of the code is the main problem, they need to make it better."
"Rubrik could improve in customization options for dashboards."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"It needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"Rubrik needs to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed."
"It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release."
"I would like to see more storage options for the free version."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
"Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the market."
"No appliance update notifications."
