More IBM Tivoli CDP for Files Pros →

More IDERA SQL Safe Backup Pros →

Cons
"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."

More IBM Tivoli CDP for Files Cons →

"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason.""The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection.""I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
