More Altaro VM Backup for MSPs Pros →

"A full-featured data protection solution that is reliable and stable.""The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer.""The most valuable feature is how we can easily power speed up the VM even though the VM resides in remote storage.""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 most valuable feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is the deduplication functionality. The clients moved to this solution originally because of this feature.""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 feature I find most valuable is the offload to Spectrum Protect for long-term retention.

Cons
"A technical person who hasn't received any dedicated training or hasn't gone through the documentation part of the solution may find the product to be a little non-intuitive at times."

More Altaro VM Backup for MSPs Cons →

"The tool needs to increase the number of threats.""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 administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use.""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.""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 integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores.""IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve security."
