Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"In terms of stability, I've found it to be very stable. I've walked into the server room when it was at 60 degrees Celcius, and it was still running fine.""The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data.""The solution is highly stable.""The command-line interface is good.""The cataloging is the best feature. It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete.""Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use."

"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure.""The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance.""Technical support is very good.""The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently.""Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions""MSP360 Backup's most valuable feature is its backup interface.""The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability.""The feature that I have found most valuable is its online backup capacity because you don't have to do an entire backup again and again, it just does whatever you type in, you type a, it goes a, you type b, it goes b. It doesn't take an entire site up again and again. So that incremental and bit by bit backup is important, it is a nice feature here."

Cons
"The configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage.""Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times.""IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly.""I would like the possibility to back up the infrastructure and then replicate it upon on restart, without having to orchestrate the starting of the VM.""The backup for a large amount of data is slow."

More IBM ProtectTIER Cons →

"The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy.""The solution's pricing is very high.""The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated.""We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines.""The Linux GUI leaves a lot to be desired. It lacks many of the features of the Windows version and is buggy, but it is still usable.""The product could be more user-friendly.""The interface feels like it is targeted for end users who typically are looking for an all-in-one integrated push button solution. It would be better if the interface had a beginner mode and an expert mode.""The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."
