We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I have found all the features useful in the solution.""The solution has been very stable.""It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature.""The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."

More Asigra Pros →

"The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team.""The support from IBM is very good.""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 initial setup of IBM Protect Plus is simple and not complex.""The solution's stability is high because it is derived from Spectrum Protect.""Some of the features we find very valuable and use a lot, are retention sets.""A full-featured data protection solution that is reliable and stable.""The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer."

More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Pros →

"The technical support is good.""What I like most about this solution are the simplicity and the price-performance ratio.""The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup Replication is application awareness. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly and it has been working very well.""It integrates easily with third-party solutions compared to other vendors.""It most valuable features are seeding and faster backups over small links.""It's simply very good software for backup purposes.""The most valuable feature is how reliable Veeam Backup is.

More Veeam Backup & Replication Pros →

Cons
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data.""The management could be a bit better."

More Asigra Cons →

"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 the IBM Spectrum Protect environment. It can be difficult to administer. The initial configuration can be difficult for entry-level teams or deployment teams, and it might be difficult to integrate. There's just too much content involved in the solution. The documentation is way too large.""I would like more integration with security. We need to show the value of the product in regards to handling security. For example, how it handles current malware or viruses. IBM should be more proactive in this direction.""The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved.""The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use.""The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy.""I think the graphical reports are a shortcoming of the tool since it fails to provide my company with what we want in terms of reporting. Due to the product's inability to take care of its reporting part, we have to use third-party software."

More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Cons →

"I have a problem with the VM. When we started doing a backup, it takes a snapshot for our virtual machines, but when we try it two or three times, in some cases, our virtual machines go to a consolidated state. I don't know why this problem happens. But I still think Veeam is a top-ranking solution.""I think that Veeam could improve some performance issues when the backup itself is restored. I'm also using HPE StoreOnce, which has deduplication, and when I'm trying to test or run backups, it takes a lot of time. I think they could improve the testing for backup copies.""Could offer a better conclusion of the backups.""The replicating from Veeam Backup Replication to Azure cloud could be improved.""I would like to see the Veeam cloud solution and Microsoft Office 365 included all in one platform.""They need to improve their technical side.""I would like to have them come up with more robust features when it comes to individual endpoint protection.""They need full cloud integration such that an on-premises backup can be offloaded to the cloud for storage."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
  • "The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
  • More Asigra Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If you need to extend it, it can be extended acting like a normal Spectrum Protect with a long archive."
  • "The price offering from IBM is coming down because it is based on number of VM machines. So, IBM is coming to the market to show the added value of the product."
  • "The licensing model of Spectrum Protect Plus is more efficient and cheaper compared to the original."
  • "In addition to the standard licensing fees, we paid for implementation and training."
  • "Unlike some other solutions, such as Veritas NetBackup where you have to pay for different licenses to use different features, there is a single license that allows you to use all of the features."
  • "Depends on the licensing options that you choose."
  • "The price is lower than that of some competing products."
  • "Clients prefer to buy a perpetual license, but the majority opt for a yearly subscription."
  • More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "If you have Exchange, Oracle, SQL, or a supported SAN, then I suggest getting at least an Enterprise edition. It’ll pay for itself in no time."
  • "The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better."
  • "Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing. The really good and useful features are in the Enterprise plus edition, and that one is really expensive."
  • "Since pricing is per socket, it is not expensive to add capacity as you go along."
  • "The licensing is based on the number of cores you have in your ESX or Hyper-V environment."
  • "The price is a bit high. Licensing type is VMware friendly, so it is easy."
  • "I think the price is good when you choose the Essentials Suite, but when you buy a full featured version (for instance the Enterprise Plus) the price is a little bit expensive."
  • "Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Veeam Backup & Replication is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are its ease of set up, the fact that it is agentless, and that it has an intuitive dashboard. 

    A Network Operations Manager at an educational organization says, "Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."

    An Inside Solutions Architect at a tech services company mentions, “I like that it's agent-less, easy to set up, and hardware-agnostic.”

    An Account Manager at a tech services company states, “The dashboard is very, very easy to understand. We do demonstrations all the time with customers just to show them. If they've lost particular files because of a server going down, we can retrieve those files for them and quickly bring those files back up.”

    Kerem C., Director of Professional Services/Senior Solution Architect/Trainer at a tech services company, explains, “It's good for backup performance management and backup window management.”
