Pros

More Atempo Time Navigator Pros →

"The product is very stable.""It scales from very small to very large.

They've always been able to find the cause of my problem.""It is a really scalable solution. We can scale it up. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.""One of the features which is most interesting in Spectrum Protect is the ability to scale out to great environments. This is something that not many vendors have on the market."

Cons
"They are working on the improvement we're looking for. The web GUI is flash-based and in around one or two months, they will put everything on HTML5."

More Atempo Time Navigator Cons →

"I am looking forward to new features in the next release. One of the main features is the cloud storage integration, which was one of my main required features. I've had more difficult experiences with other platforms than with this one.""I think Spectrum Protect's interface is not so user-friendly, but the interface is not so friendly. Some of the functions are too complicated. I prefer a simpler solution.""We cannot take VMware backups for our banking data center environment.""The interface could be more user-friendly.""Integration with some applications in the healthcare field could be added, as that is a big part of our business.""IBM's support hasn't been so good in the last few years.""Replication services would be nice. If these could be enhanced to be always on so multiple storage backup services could be added as a cluster pool. This would provide a better availability service.""The previous GUI that they had was slow, and it did not have enough information on it."

  • "At scale, the consumption license (per TB) is very expensive."
  • "Use capacity licensing. It's easier and cheaper."
  • "We worked our licensing into a capacity model, which is nice. Now, everything is much simpler to manage from a licensing perspective.​"
  • "We chose IBM Spectrum Protect, because they actually have something called MSP pricing, which means managed services provider pricing. The pricing was attractive, and it seems to be a platform that IBM is totally investing on in terms of new functions and new capabilities."
  • "Spectrum Protect is not expensive, and it is simple to use."
  • "It is very scalable, but the downside is that it costs money."
