Find out what your peers are saying about N-able, MSP360, Vembu Technologies and others in MSP Backup."Granular restoration is extremely useful in Altaro VM Backup for MSPs since it is something that we make use of the most in our company."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"This is a multi-platform backup solution where you can take a backup from AIX, Windows, or Linux servers and restore from CD, disk, or tape."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that the product works and helps with restoration areas whenever there is a need to restore something."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with Oracle."
"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."
"With this product, we now have a reliable backup solution."
"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."
"The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer."
"A technical person who hasn't received any dedicated training or hasn't gone through the documentation part of the solution may find the product to be a little non-intuitive at times."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"The backup support for IBM Power Virtualization needs to be added."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
"An area that needs improvement is data validation. We currently use another product that gives us immediate validation, information about when the last backup was, and no risk of corruption happening. TSM in IBM Spectrum is not mature so that you can validate on the spot."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"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."
"Instead of using the command prompt for troubleshooting and administering the backup, there should be an easy-to-use graphical user interface."
