Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"The ability to clone backups."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"The solution integrates well with other tools."
"The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer."
"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."
"What I like about IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its integration, plus it has very good technical support."
"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."
"Virtual snapshots that offer incremental backups."
"This solution is very stable and has good support available online."
"The most valuable features are the API features because it allows you to integrate with your Microsoft SQL, your Oracle, and your IBM Db2."
"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."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"Not having to specify a time to run a backup with a fixed schedule is something that's really beneficial. In the past we had to schedule and try to manually stagger things over the window, to back up everything. Because Rubrik is SLA-based, you say, "Well, I need it to fit in this window here," and it just backs it up when it's most convenient for the Brik and for the third-party system. It looks at the CPU usage and says, "Okay, it's not as busy now. I know I've got time to take the backup." That's a real advantage."
"It has also saved us time managing backups. It's pretty stable. So it sends us a report if something goes wrong, then you get a report. You don't really need to manually monitor this software over time. If something happens, you'll get an error and you'll get an email notification and then address it. We found the product pretty stable if it's configured correctly. So it has reduced management time."
"What I like about Rubrik is its strong focus on security, particularly in combating ransomware threats."
"We do like the instant recovery... Now, we say, "Okay, give me 15 seconds and I can get this back up for you." And within that 15 seconds it's on and the only thing that we have to do afterwards is vMotion it off of the Rubrik storage back to where it should rest."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
"A Google-like file search, system scaling, and a frequent development cycle are some positives that this solution offers."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"We have issues with the SQL databases which are a little shaky."
"I would change the GUI a little to make it a bit more interactive. It should have a slightly more updated look, not something which looks like it was designed five years ago despite the fact it is easy to follow and very appealing."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve security."
"I think the graphical reports are a shortcoming of the tool since it fails to provide my company with what we want in terms of reporting. Due to the product's inability to take care of its reporting part, we have to use third-party software."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"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."
"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."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"Rubrik is expensive."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"It is a lot more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system. You have to engage their support to perform some of the tasks. It would be helpful for an experienced engineer to be able to go and do some of those tasks prior to contacting the support."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
