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 solution is very stable. It is one of the most important features that we look for in a product before putting it into the market and when establishing a strategy with our customers."
"IBM Spectrum Protect is a scalable solution."
"The software-defined ability to do data reduction through deduplication and compression, as well as being able to replicate data to a cloud container."
"Every time customers make a change or we have made a change, then they use the product to do a cloning and refreshing. They are happy that they get good performance something changes."
"Every time we go and try to get a file, we can get it. Restores are quick and the data is always there."
"The most valuable feature is the backup speed."
"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."
"We have been using it for several years, and it is quite reliable and predictable. We are quite comfortable with this solution. They're coming up with new features as well. It has good scalability, and it provides good integrations with business-critical applications or databases, such as SAP HANA. It works as expected, and we don't see any issues."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"The user interface is good."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The previous GUI that they had was slow, and it did not have enough information on it."
"Although I am not a technical user, I would say the cloud integration features could be improved."
"For Spectrum Protect Plus, I would like to see more enhanced reporting features and integration with Spectrum Protect."
"Customers have migrated off of it because of its lack of virtual environment functions."
"It seems like they are a little behind on the integration to Azure Cloud as well as Amazon."
"High availability (HA) is a scalability challenge."
"Our new leadership has pushed us to go more toward the cloud, so we are definitely going to leverage anything we can in that direction."
"I would like to see a way to have "always on" implemented."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"The storage capacity is very low."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
