Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The API is very good."
"The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer."
"The support from IBM is very good."
"If the system were to go down, we needed to make sure that the system could be recovered and available as soon as possible. Spectrum Protect provides you access to directly bind the backup volume to the server and make the system available instead of restoring it and copying the system."
"The solution's stability is high because it is derived from Spectrum Protect."
"This solution is very stable and has good support available online."
"The feature I find most valuable is the offload to Spectrum Protect for long-term retention. I think the deduplication and replication are quite nice on Plus."
"The most valuable features of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are you have many possibilities on how to use it. We use it for backups and to create secondary and third copies. It is possible to pick up Kubernetes containers and use a different cloud provider if you need to start backups on the cloud."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve security."
"The solution only supports HyperV and VMware but doesn't support Nutanix."
"The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use."
"It requires much more automation features."
"The tool needs to increase the number of threats."
"The one issue we are facing is related to file restores."
"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 solution should allow for backup of iOS snapshots."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
