Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Its flexibility is valuable. It is a very flexible solution. There are always more ways than one to do something. It is a software solution, which means you can buy your own hardware and expand it whenever you want. You are not boxed in or locked into something you've bought and outgrown. You can always expand it."
"It integrates well with Spectrum Scale."
"Disk-based implementation of a data protection solution for multiple sites is a better fit for my complex data protection needs."
"It is very stable. A plus is to use POWERAge for the SNR copy of the Spectrum Protect, then it is more reliable."
"It has increased our security, scalability, and high availability."
"Our performance is better."
"The main feature of this product is a flexible architecture and functionality that allows you to solve problems of any complexity and scale. Most importantly, it is not just a product that simply makes a backup, but it restores and saves a large number of services in critical situations. By the way, it works fine with different types of clouds, supports S3."
"Instead of taking three different backups of your systems, you're taking only one. You're able to crack that open and get what you need. The incident recovery, where it creates the VM and then you're running it, technically you're running it on Spectrum Protect. But then in the background, it's doing the storage motion and moving it off the Spectrum Protect back to your VMware environment. The users don't know the difference."
"The solution is very affordable for small businesses."
"The most valuable feature is application availability, which allows us to monitor all agents and accounts."
"It is a stable solution."

"Stability is very good now. It used to be rocky years ago."
"We would like to see bare-metal restorers."
"I think Spectrum Protect's interface is not so user-friendly, but the interface is not so friendly. Some of the functions are too complicated. I prefer a simpler solution."
"They need to reduce the complexity and make the learning curve easier."
"It doesn't integrate with storage pools, with a normal pool. I'd like to see that."
