We performed a comparison between Code42 Incydr and IBM Spectrum Protect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Security tools: Being able to monitor data going in and coming off our endpoints. Seeing what it is and where it's going is awesome."
"There are a couple of things. One of them is that they have what they call Incydr. Their detection and response solution to the insider threat area is called Incydr. That gives visibility to the clients that have widely dispersed employee bases due to work from home, or that had a dispersed workforce predating any of the work from home requirements. Even though they might not be inside the organization physically, they're inside the organization. It allows us to get some visibility into what people are doing, what the context is, and how to control what might be the potential for intellectual property theft or file exposure."
"Backup and recovery have been great, but I love having the ability to keep the hybrid type build which they offer."
"Works in the background and users are able to perform restores."
"Low system overhead, setting retention policies, ease of use"
"It required very little ongoing maintenance once setup."
"Code42 Next-Gen DLP is scalable."
"It has quite a bit of flexibility in configuring backup sets."
"Forever incremental - allows TSM to optimize storage needs."
"It covers all the different operating systems. If you need backup, it can pretty much do everything."
"It scales well for the amount of clients that we use with it."
"We have better, faster backup times, and it has improved efficiency in the backups."
"The scheduled backups ensure we meet the requirements for our business, and we keep backups of certain environments."
"It is a really scalable solution. We can scale it up. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten."
"Once setup, you do not need to touch it again. You just need to do a formal check on possibly batch updates."
"It provides our customers with the comfort of having reliable enterprise data protection."
"You can't always filter out data that you'd like to."
"I think one we can improve is the compression."
"Due to recent changes that effectively abandoned an entire segment of their user base, I no longer trust nor can recommend Code42 products."
"I would like to see more flexibility on privileges, perhaps create another kind of admin for regions. Also, I would like the ability to access logs without having to be on the actual device or a super-admin."
"There doesn't seem to be any feature that is lacking."
"More security would be nice, I would love to be able to remotely brick a stolen laptop and it's hard disk drive (HDD)."
"What I think could be improved is how I get support."
"In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue."
"Perhaps if they could add replication to a second site or third site from the same console, that would be helpful. Currently, we have to connect to another console."
"The solution should have better integration with VMware and with IBM Spectrum Protect Plus."
"Any feature that is compliant with virtualizing the application should be improved."
"Most customers still struggle with the reporting piece, especially generating reports. I think it needs some improvements in this area."
"Technical support could be improved."
"We should be talking about the capacity of the tape drives. That's the only problem."
"It does what we need it to do, but it could be better with VM backups. It could be better integrated with virtual machines or VM backups, but that's why they have their Plus out now. Plus version is more geared toward VM backups. The regular version is more for endpoint clients."
"The user interface (UI) for the admin is still not good. It is way too complicated to manage the product, as we still need to use command line. IBM launched the Operations Center (OC), but there are still functions lacking, especially since we cannot manage all our scheduled tasks by using the GUI."
