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 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 solution integrates well with other tools."
"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 most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that the product works and helps with restoration areas whenever there is a need to restore something."
"The solution offers a very straightforward deployment. You click, click, click and it's done. There's not much configuration to do."
"With this product, we now have a reliable backup solution."
"The solution's stability is high because it is derived from Spectrum Protect."
"The most valuable feature is that the backup and restoring process is very fast."
"We rarely need their help. I would give their technical support an 8.5 out of ten. We are satisfied."
"I think the solution is very intuitive, effective, and easy to use."
"I personally find Veritas NetBackup Applicance hassle-free."
"The tool is easy to use, stable, and performs well, but it depends on the environment where it is deployed. It is leaning more toward huge enterprises where it is positioned. It needs to be as easy as others but addresses more complex requirements."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is information backup."
"NetBackup is based on really good architectural hardware, and Veritas has the best backup and replication technology in the world."
"It’s quite scalable."
"The solution should allow for backup of iOS snapshots."
"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores."
"NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
"Sometimes, the user interface doesn't work smoothly."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"Veritas NetBackup would benefit from better explained error codes."
"With technical support, it feels like they aren't well trained and it takes forever to get answers out of them."
"The technical support services could be better."
"They could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process."
