Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."In general, the solution is quite user-friendly. The GUI is very nice."
"The product helps us do data protection and restoration for disaster recovery (DR)."
"The deduplication and compression features are the most valuable features."
"It's a very stable product, and we've never had any downtime with it."
"The platform has valuable stability."
"We are able to run it in an enterprise quite easily with one or two resources."
"The interface is easy to use."
"With data deduplication and compression, we are reducing our overall storage footprint for our disk histories. Therefore, we are reducing the actual cost of the disk for our data protection and data backups."
"Along with its active directory infrastructure, this solution also possesses the ability to recover and exchange, making it a valuable backup tool."
"Its management part can be better and simplified. It is kind of a beast as compared to Commvault or Veeam, but they are more user-friendly. They are also easier to learn, whereas Spectrum Protect definitely takes time. They should simplify it. Our teams are pretty comfortable with it because we have been using it for a long time, but from the perspective of a new user who is evaluating or using this solution, it is definitely more complex in terms of manageability. Its monitoring could be improved so that it can even monitor the jobs that are scheduled by external schedulers. There are situations where a database team might decide to use their own schedulers, but currently, Spectrum Protect is not able to catch those jobs in the Operation Manager console."
"We would like to see capabilities of long-term archiving and more support for hardware platforms."
"The product should be improved to save more space."
"We have run into some periods where we have found some tape issues which were causing us problems, but we resolved them. For some reason, we had a bunch of drives go offline on our disk storage (our virtual library)."
"Anytime you are not very current and call in with an issue, it is hard to get it resolved. It will depend on how far back you go though."
"I would love to see something which allows us to do an auto restart of backup jobs."
"If you take Spectrum Protect into account, and you have it along with restrictions to Spectrum Archive by means of LTFS, this is also something which should be made better within the overall product's program."
"Stability is very good now. It used to be rocky years ago."
"The solution has few features as it does not focus on managing anything in the application."
