Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This solution is very stable and has good support available online.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with Oracle.""The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer.""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 solution offers a very straightforward deployment. You click, click, click and it's done. There's not much configuration to do.""We used to use the solution with tapes a few years ago. We've switched to discs, and it has gotten much faster.""The solution integrates well with other tools.""The API is very good."

More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Pros →

"Enables multiple hosts access to the virtual machines by providing for moving VMs due to maintenance or host failure.""Immediate data recovery: critical to business continuity in an age of unknown cyber threats.""Most storage arrays when you buy them, they call it a "forklift upgrade," where a forklift comes in there and pulls out the old storage, and brings in a new storage. But with Reduxio, it can use all your old storage arrays, whether they're NetApp, or IBM, or EMC, or HPE, as targets for doing backups.""We like the way the Reduxio is designed, the way the managing/operating end is just so much easier; fewer steps, more intuitive steps. It has a number of features baked into it that, in other products, are additional licensed components, like compression and dedupe.""The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that.""The TimeOS support and I/O performance. For instance, recovery of data from any point in time, and the speed of the unit, are incredible compared to other devices we reviewed.""We are getting 4.4:1 data reduction, which means we will be able to squeeze over 120TB into 2U. This is more than enough capacity for us.""We were also pleased to learn that Reduxio also has, beside dedup and compression that actually works, the "time machine" built in, which allows you to go back a few seconds or a few minutes before a ransomware attack gets you."

More Reduxio [EOL] Pros →

Cons
"It still needs to grow and add new features. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, I believe, requires time to become competitive due to a weakness in the other software products.""The one issue we are facing is related to file restores.""The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved.""The tool needs to increase the number of threats.""In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication.""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 solution only supports HyperV and VMware but doesn't support Nutanix.""I would like integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores."

More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Cons →

"I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall.""The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious.​""Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration.""I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control.""If Reduxio could manage multiple Reduxio systems within the same dashboard, or manage them as a single mode, it be very, very helpful for us.""They're trying to do this, but they need to show more what their growth plan is, the development, what the next steps are, the future.""A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal.""I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "If you need to extend it, it can be extended acting like a normal Spectrum Protect with a long archive."
  • "The price offering from IBM is coming down because it is based on number of VM machines. So, IBM is coming to the market to show the added value of the product."
  • "The licensing model of Spectrum Protect Plus is more efficient and cheaper compared to the original."
  • "In addition to the standard licensing fees, we paid for implementation and training."
  • "Unlike some other solutions, such as Veritas NetBackup where you have to pay for different licenses to use different features, there is a single license that allows you to use all of the features."
  • "Depends on the licensing options that you choose."
  • "The price is lower than that of some competing products."
  • "Clients prefer to buy a perpetual license, but the majority opt for a yearly subscription."
  • More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "All of their new features that were released following our purchase are free of charge. For example, we are about to upgrade getting cloud integration for free."
  • "Depending on your cost of data loss, one ransomware or accidental deletion could pay for a Reduxio appliance."
  • "It was the best price for capacity and speed on a hybrid array I could find."
  • "I think it is worth the value."
