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."IBM Spectrum Protect is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features of the product are data deduplication and disaster recovery."
"The solution offers very good flexibility."
"You can protect your data and keep it for long durations, without it spending too much time on the local disk."
"One of the features which is most interesting in Spectrum Protect is the ability to scale out to great environments. This is something that not many vendors have on the market."
"The product is very stable."
"The file-restoring feature is the most valuable."
"The most valuable features are compression and de-duplication."
"One of the most valuable features was the usability, since many of the features were very straightforward. The backup and restoration process was also very fast. Although we weren't able to fully test the scenarios, one of the features was that we could have it restored on a remote site. However, since we were on-prem, we weren't able to test the remote site restoration."
"The solution offers good documentation."
"I have used the BMR (Bare Metal Restore) in several emergencies and it has absolutely saved my bacon."
"Quorum OnQ has taken the guesswork out of backup/recovery and disaster recovery."
"It's easy to implement, easy to spin up, easily configurable, to drop-in appliances and network. There wasn't a lot of time needed to spin it up."
"A very high level security environment for secondary data."
"One of the biggest features is that, even on the absolutely run-of-the-mill box, if I lose any one of my servers I can automatically bring it up virtually on the physical onQ Quorum device."
"Being able to spin up a machine in a sandbox is amazing because it allows us to test things that we otherwise would not be able to do."
"This product comes up against other products available that are marketed better but the other products that it's in competition with are a single product and this is one of IBM products. If it could be marketed as more for competitors I think that's where it comes short."
"Although I am not a technical user, I would say the cloud integration features could be improved."
"The solution could be more user-friendly and provide better monitoring. The monitoring should be improved first since it is a higher priority."
"It does not do too well in our virtual environment."
"Scalability is poor. As you get to bigger environments, this is where our gaps have been introduced. As we have grown over the past couple of years, the gaps have become more apparent."
"The solution must protect against ransomware attacks better."
"The solution should improve the ability to monitor backup failure."
"The only thing that I would like to have a little more of is insight in reporting. I find that Spectrum Protect needs a lot of monitoring, and I have to actually log into the servers."
"There seems to be a lack of technicians. Sometimes they are very busy and I don't hear back for a day or two. The technicians they have are great. They are fantastic, but it seems difficult, at times, to get in contact with anyone."
"The cost could be reduced."
"Quorum OnQ can be improved by providing support for other operating systems like Ubuntu."
"At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."
"We found that some of the live SQL databases we were backing up would be inconsistent when we would restore them."
"I don't love the scheduler, as I think that interface could use an overhaul."
"Quorum OnQ's user interface is not very attractive and should be made more attractive."
"Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."
