We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, Rubrik, 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.
"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 features are the API features because it allows you to integrate with your Microsoft SQL, your Oracle, and your IBM Db2."
"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 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 is the ease of use."
"The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team."
"The solution's stability is high because it is derived from Spectrum Protect."
"The fact that the API is so available to us with the playground — there's an internal and public playground — is also valuable. We can write API calls — and although I'm sure there's a way we could hurt the data — we write those calls with a lot of certainty that we won't be destroying anything. We write these API calls using really easy mechanisms and generate automation a lot faster."
"There is a live-restore feature, their Live Mount, and the way it works we can instantly recover a VM, a past backup, to be directly attached to our VMware environment. Rubrik will act as a disk for it. It's like an instant restore. Within a few minutes our VM is up and running. And then, if we want to restore it, we can just migrate it to our actual storage."
"Instant recovery of virtual machines allows for the restoration of services in minutes."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
"Rubrik is an easy and automatic solution that needs no manual intervention."
"Rubrik is a very scalable and high-performing backup restore solution."
"Rubrik has improved our organization by minimizing downtime."
"The most valuable feature is the archive to cloud location and the automation around the PowerShell script. There are also reports and dashboards."
"Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."
"It serves its intended purpose and it works well."
"The solution is stable and the performance is good."
"I enjoy the ability to quickly search for VMs through the Veeam console."
"The initial setup for a simple environment is very easy. We just do next, next, next, next for the installation. It can be complicated in a complicated environment. It can be simple for a simple environment. I enjoy installing it. It has a lot of features."
"It's not complex to replicate and back up the system."
"The fast backup and restore feature is the most valuable."
"The backup and replication features are most valuable."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"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."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"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."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
"The solution should allow for backup of iOS snapshots."
"The backup support for IBM Power Virtualization needs to be added."
"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."
"Rubrik needs to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"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."
"I would like to see more openness for partners to access and assist in system management. Currently, access is limited, often handled by Rubrik personnel, likely due to security concerns."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"We have some challenges with the solution's reporting because historical reports have some limitations."
"The recovery of Oracle databases is too complicated. It is not something that helps the DBA, the Database Administrator, but it should be done by the backup person like many other solutions. Everything is ready for the DBA to recover the database. It is a way of doing things, but I don't think you should give the backup people the ability to do it."
"The only issue on which we would like to see for improvement would be, potentially, the ability to do some different things with recovery, like faster recovery onsite."
"Device backup could be improved."
"Its native capability for talking to the public cloud needs improvement. Connecting to a public cloud is a little bit more of a challenge when it comes to Veeam than it is with Rubrik or Commvault. There are still some hoops that you got to jump through in order to send Veeam backups out to public cloud repositories. It is not as simple as it is with other products."
"Even though the speed has improved over the years, I think that there are some instances where it still takes a while."
"I would like to see more broad support for other applications such as databases, or other operating systems."
"The replicating from Veeam Backup Replication to Azure cloud could be improved."
"The backup and integration could be improved."
"think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."
