We performed a comparison between Atempo Time Navigator and IBM Spectrum Protect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"The D2D2T archive of my PACS data improved after I put Spectrum Protect 8.1.4 into production."
"Regarding stability, it's been rock solid."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that IBM Spectrum Protect is highly integrated with IBM ESS. In addition, it allows us to back up our virtual servers directly to take VM snapshots. It runs on Linux as well."
"It is scalable beyond anything my customers ever aspire to."
"I love the TDP for VMware because of the web interface and the possibilities provided by this tool. It's amazing."
"Data archiving is easier and less time-consuming."
"We have been using it for several years, and it is quite reliable and predictable. We are quite comfortable with this solution. They're coming up with new features as well. It has good scalability, and it provides good integrations with business-critical applications or databases, such as SAP HANA. It works as expected, and we don't see any issues."
"It protects our data. That is what it is there for."
"They are working on the improvement we're looking for. The web GUI is flash-based and in around one or two months, they will put everything on HTML5."
"Its management part can be better and simplified. It is kind of a beast as compared to Commvault or Veeam, but they are more user-friendly. They are also easier to learn, whereas Spectrum Protect definitely takes time. They should simplify it. Our teams are pretty comfortable with it because we have been using it for a long time, but from the perspective of a new user who is evaluating or using this solution, it is definitely more complex in terms of manageability. Its monitoring could be improved so that it can even monitor the jobs that are scheduled by external schedulers. There are situations where a database team might decide to use their own schedulers, but currently, Spectrum Protect is not able to catch those jobs in the Operation Manager console."
"The version that we had when I first started made it look really bad. We are talking about commands that should have run in two seconds, but instead took four to eight hours. Other components were sluggish."
"We would like to see capabilities of long-term archiving and more support for hardware platforms."
"It should have the ability to break down the data that's being backed up. It should have better reporting."
"I would love to see something which allows us to do an auto restart of backup jobs."
"I find the solution somewhat difficult to use with virtual environments or VMware."
"It needs BMR (bare machine recovery) solutions for both Windows and Linux systems."
"Our customers would like to see metadata replication, tearing to tape, and more cloud capabilities."
