Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it. Our customers have never raised any issue with it. Basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free. Our customers are happy. They just got a renewal for the subscription for the service."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."
"They are the best support that we have had so far. When you contact or email them, they are very quick to respond. They always have someone available for us. That's what we want as a customer, we want someone to listen to us."
"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."
"The scalability of the product is fine."
"It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates."
"We used to use the solution with tapes a few years ago. We've switched to discs, and it has gotten much faster."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is the deduplication functionality. The clients moved to this solution originally because of this feature."
"What I like about IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its integration, plus it has very good technical support."
"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 most valuable feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its ease of use. Additionally, it does backups of all of the things we need, such as OS, files, and databases."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution's stability is high because it is derived from Spectrum Protect."
"A full-featured data protection solution that is reliable and stable."
"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."
"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."
"When we manage the box physically, we don't have as much control as we do when we manage from the cloud. The best management is from the cloud."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."
"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end."
"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"The one issue we are facing is related to file restores."
"The software's technical support could improve its response time for different time zones."
"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."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
"The solution should allow for backup of iOS snapshots."
"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."
