"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"What I like about IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its integration, plus it has very good technical support."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is the deduplication functionality. The clients moved to this solution originally because of this feature."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"The solution offers a very straightforward deployment. You click, click, click and it's done. There's not much configuration to do."
"The most valuable feature is how we can easily power speed up the VM even though the VM resides in remote storage."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to navigate inside a backup point to look for a specific folder or data you want to recover."
"Solution provides good security."
"Veeam is very user-friendly and intuitive software."
"Veeam helps to create a stable environment with virtual servers."
"I like working on the Azure platform."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"The product is free to use. We don't have to pay for a license."
"It is good and easy to use for backing up physical servers. It is working fine, and it is stable and scalable."
"The one issue we are facing is related to file restores."
"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
"I would like integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores."
"An area that needs improvement is data validation. We currently use another product that gives us immediate validation, information about when the last backup was, and no risk of corruption happening. TSM in IBM Spectrum is not mature so that you can validate on the spot."
"The backup support for IBM Power Virtualization needs to be added."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved."
"There really are no cons. The product simply has to maintain development to keep up with changes in the operating system."
"The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete."
"The solution could use some updates to minor details omitted from current reporting."
"A feature I would like to see is universal restore. At the moment, restoration can only be smooth on the same hardware. Let's say you have a server and you back it up with Veeam Agent, in case it fails or crashes. If you later buy a new server because the same one isn't available on the market anymore, there's a high chance that Windows will not boot up if you restore from the Veeam backup because the hardware is now different. Acronis has the universal restore feature, so it will work with generic drivers and you can restore Windows in any dissimilar hardware. As far as I know, Veeam doesn't have this feature yet."
"We can't use tape for primary storage on Veeam."
"I would like there to be more integration with other platforms."
"The solution lacks instant recovery."
