"The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team."
"A full-featured data protection solution that is reliable and stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with Oracle."
"This solution is very stable and has good support available online."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"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."
"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."
"Large-scale recoveries are very straightforward."
"I like Veeam a lot because it solves problems, is stable, and runs very well."
"The WAN accelerator feature has been the most valuable for me. That feature reduced the time needed to complete the task from 25 days to less than a week! This is compared with the original tools used: ntbackup, robocopy and Windows Server Backup."
"The product allows us to use data more efficiently, reducing the cost of storage and backup time. It is vital to have data available in the shortest possible time."
"Provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines."
"The most valuable feature is the instant recovery."
"The initial setup was not overly complex."
"Veeam Is very useful for most environments and can scale up in most environments - such as Amazon or Azure."
"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."
"It requires much more automation features."
"It still needs to grow and add new features. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, I believe, requires time to become competitive due to a weakness in the other software products."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"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."
"The security must be improved."
"The backup support for IBM Power Virtualization needs to be added."
"The solution only supports HyperV and VMware but doesn't support Nutanix."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
"Veeam currently lacks features for backing up to network-attached storage. Veeam Backup & Replication agents do not support S3 storage. Only Veeam Backup & Replication server supports S3 storage."
"Multithreading of health check process: This can take too much time to process on large jobs and/or large VMs."
"All our customers would like a cheaper license and more flexible deployment."
"Pricing can be improved."
"Recovery speed is slow. Full recovery on large machines (1TB+) takes too long"
