We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Protect Plus and Veeam Backup & Replication 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."A full-featured data protection solution that is reliable and stable."
"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 most valuable feature is how we can easily power speed up the VM even though the VM resides in remote storage."
"The solution is scalable."
"The support from IBM is very good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with Oracle."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"The API is very good."
"It's streamlined the backup and recovery for my customers in the sense that it has an easy management console that's easy to set up any type of instant recovery."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup Replication is application awareness. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly and it has been working very well."
"The solution is easy to install and very stable."
"Its stability and scalability were the main reasons for going for this solution. It is highly scalable, and its stability is also powerful. It has a friendly interface, and its monitoring and performance are the best in the market."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are efficient backup and replication. Additionally, Veeam Backup Replication supports all products and vendors."
"Good compression when storing data."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
"The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use."
"The replication feature is not available."
"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 software's technical support could improve its response time for different time zones."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"The one issue we are facing is related to file restores."
"I think the graphical reports are a shortcoming of the tool since it fails to provide my company with what we want in terms of reporting. Due to the product's inability to take care of its reporting part, we have to use third-party software."
"The Veeam backup application interface is application-based and not web-based."
"I cannot recall coming across any features that were lacking."
"I think Veeam needs to improve the file installation process, as well as more technical things like snapping feature issues. Sometimes during backup, when it's taking the scan snaps on the ESXi, it started and didn't remove the snapshot from there, which consumed storage on the EXSi. It could be improved with more technical depth. The response time for Veeam's technical support could also be improved."
"I would like to have them come up with more robust features when it comes to individual endpoint protection."
"I would prefer it if the backup console did not require use of a specified program but rather that it could be opened from any website."
"I only ever found one error. It was when we were doing a file copy job. After using it for ten minutes, it would slow down and cause a bottleneck error."
"Cross-hypervisor replication can be improved."
"Lacks online training."
