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."With this product, we now have a reliable backup solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"A full-featured data protection solution that is reliable and stable."
"Large-scale recoveries are very straightforward."
"The most valuable features of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are you have many possibilities on how to use it. We use it for backups and to create secondary and third copies. It is possible to pick up Kubernetes containers and use a different cloud provider if you need to start backups on the cloud."
"The feature I find most valuable is the offload to Spectrum Protect for long-term retention. I think the deduplication and replication are quite nice on Plus."
"The initial setup of IBM Protect Plus is simple and not complex."
"If the system were to go down, we needed to make sure that the system could be recovered and available as soon as possible. Spectrum Protect provides you access to directly bind the backup volume to the server and make the system available instead of restoring it and copying the system."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."
"The features I find most valuable are probably the VMware snapshot backups and the Veeam replication. Their replication is very good. It can easily be used for disaster recovery in a number of situations."
"It is way easier to take backup with Veeam Backup & Replication than the regular ones."
"The most valuable features I have found to be Instant Recovery, quick restore and rollback, and asynchronous copy. It is a complete solution for our needs."
"Integration with various applications, such as on-premises laptops and desktop backups, as well as applications and databases, is excellent."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"Instant recovery, ease of use, and integrations are some of the valuable features."
"I'm satisfied with tech support, because the solution is so stable that I haven't had the need to engage any of the engineers yet."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"The solution only supports HyperV and VMware but doesn't support Nutanix."
"Rooms for improvement in IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are installation and configuration because those were difficult. They should try their best to improve those areas. In the next release of the product, better implementation and administration are what we're expecting."
"The security must be improved."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"I would like to see continuous data protection (CDP). If there is machine failure, you don't have to go to the backup copy that you took 12 hours ago. You can actually go back to the backup copy made half an hour ago. That is, it would be good to have certain-point-in-time recovery."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."
"Needs better integration with cloud service providers."
"The product is missing some commonsense features and tools for an enterprise backup recovery product,"
"Veeam Backup is not enhanced. There aren't any enhancements yet and they are still using traditional methods for snapshots and to perform the backup, like many other vendors. Another improvement would be simplifying and integrating their software."
"The solution requires a lot of bandwidth."
"The ability to do more backups should be addressed."
"Some support replies for a broken backup task have been "rebuild the job from scratch" and this is a bad thing to do if you have many VMs and repositories."
"I cannot recall coming across any features that were lacking."
"The ease of use could be improved, but I don't have a very deep amount of experience in Veeam, so it's difficult to say what could be improved."
