Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The command-line interface is good.""The solution is highly stable.""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.""Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use.""The cataloging is the best feature. It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete."

More IBM ProtectTIER Pros →

"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements.""The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion.""The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent.""You can back up the whole image.""It has a user-friendly interface.""Offers good recovery quickly.""The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup.""The installation was straightforward."

Cons
"Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times.""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 configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage.""IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly.""The backup for a large amount of data is slow."

More IBM ProtectTIER Cons →

"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement.""We faced issues with recovery and restoration.""It needs an easier interface.""The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable.""The pricing could be cheaper.""The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement.""Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
