We performed a comparison between AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery and IBM Spectrum Protect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"The solution is dependent on the network bandwidth. For example, if they have a bandwidth of 10Mbps the solution will run a little heavier. If the bandwidth is good the solution runs well."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"It is scalable beyond anything my customers ever aspire to."
"The solution is mostly stable."
"We like IBM Spectrum's versioning capabilities. It lets us specify how many versions of a file we want to keep and for how long. Also, the archive component of the software helps us a lot."
"It has to ability to backup DV2, Oracle, and Informix."
"Because of the flexible parameters, everything can be fine-tuned to the customers’ needs in their environment."
"It helps our customers protect their data, especially with stuff like ransomware, compliance, and regulatory requirements."
"It scales well. We have grown here in the last year or two, and it has been relatively easy."
"The main feature of this product is a flexible architecture and functionality that allows you to solve problems of any complexity and scale. Most importantly, it is not just a product that simply makes a backup, but it restores and saves a large number of services in critical situations. By the way, it works fine with different types of clouds, supports S3."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"The GUI has long been a problem for TSM/Spectrum Protect."
"They can include more cloud-enriching features. I would like IBM Spectrum Protect to have the functionality for backing up a VM directly in Azure. I would like to be able to back up a VM directly in Azure without spinning up a Hyper-V cluster and backing up the virtual server."
"IBM Spectrum Protect does have a lot of the features that we need, but I think they need to improve their backup virtualization and backup for container."
"I would like to see monitoring within the platform: monitoring for storage pools and monitoring for the server's health (e.g., CPU and memory)."
"A lot of my customers always ask for legal holds, especially on email."
"There were scalability issues only in the brand new features which were recently released."
"It should have the ability to break down the data that's being backed up. It should have better reporting."
"It needs BMR (bare machine recovery) solutions for both Windows and Linux systems."
