We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Virtualize and Veritas Access based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."It lowers cost. It does so by getting more efficient use out of the technology behind it."
"The most valuable features are the simplicity of use, the flexibility, and the options included. I mean, it's just a big time saver."
"Although the GUI from the XIV was used (in my view), IBM has polished and refined the GUI providing a pleasant and easy to navigate GUI experience."
"Compared to other storage vendors, the solution is quite convenient to use."
"We can failover easily, because a lot of our data is replicated from family to the second replication."
"The ability to have a feature-rich software set which extends the capabilities of the back-end storage arrays."
"The ability to add the virtual machine on the Spectrum environment to sort out the data movers(DMs) and their schedules is a valuable feature. You are able to have, for example, four data movers to balance them so you do not have too much work on one data mover."
"The abstraction flair and the abstraction layer. We had a mixture of different storage arrays, and the wonderful thing about SVC is is that it normalizes all it into a single driver. A single view that all hosts see simultaneously."
"It has a huge deduplication ratio for backups of long-term archives."
"The product deployment is easy."
"Veritas Access is user-friendly and the NAS and SAN volumes are valuable."
"The solution could have a better built-in performance monitor."
"I would like to see more baseline replication and integration with the operating system between Vmware and IBMI."
"I hate I/O groups. If you start swapping I/O groups, they can be potentially risky. If they could get rid of the whole I/O group principle, the risk is not there anymore. I understand the fundamental thing about I/O groups, but they are risky."
"In general, the migration is complicated. Though, it is case-by-case."
"For improvement considerations, I would probably say multiple sites."
"Level 1 technical support needs improvement."
"The Storwize port is not so stable."
"They are actually working on one bug we found, which was with flash restore. This was the user interface design for virtual environments."
"I would like to see Veritas Access included as an S3 target."
"The downtime of Veritas Access could be improved."
"They could improve additional fees for the platform's data capacity. It could be more cost-effective."
