We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 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."The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"The initial setup of IBM Protect Plus is simple and not complex."
"This is a multi-platform backup solution where you can take a backup from AIX, Windows, or Linux servers and restore from CD, disk, or tape."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team."
"A full-featured data protection solution that is reliable and stable."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its ease of use. Additionally, it does backups of all of the things we need, such as OS, files, and databases."
"The API is very good."
"The most valuable feature is how we can easily power speed up the VM even though the VM resides in remote storage."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"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."
"Rooms for improvement in IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are installation and configuration because those were difficult. They should try their best to improve those areas. In the next release of the product, better implementation and administration are what we're expecting."
"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."
"The backup support for IBM Power Virtualization needs to be added."
"The tool needs to increase the number of threats."
"Their first level of support can be improved. Often they are too junior to understand the issues we are having, and it takes too much time to get from them to the next level of support, which is what we actually need."
"The software's technical support could improve its response time for different time zones."
"Instead of using the command prompt for troubleshooting and administering the backup, there should be an easy-to-use graphical user interface."
