Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."One of the features I find most valuable, is the good technical support."
"The speed and the ease of the initial setup are both good. It is not complex."
"It seems very scalable and robust. It can do what we require it to do."
"Instead of taking three different backups of your systems, you're taking only one. You're able to crack that open and get what you need. The incident recovery, where it creates the VM and then you're running it, technically you're running it on Spectrum Protect. But then in the background, it's doing the storage motion and moving it off the Spectrum Protect back to your VMware environment. The users don't know the difference."
"With the new features that we have added, it has made a difference as far as faster recovery and speed."
"The business value comes from the capability to overcome data losses."
"I find the whole product useful. The backup archive client, snapshot, spectrum for virtual environments are beneficial features."
"When I have to do disaster recoveries, I can do it with this tool."
"Since the technology is reliable, it simplifies the backup process significantly. Now, our focus can primarily be on managing full backups and creating some offline copies."
"With data deduplication and compression, we are reducing our overall storage footprint for our disk histories. Therefore, we are reducing the actual cost of the disk for our data protection and data backups."
"The interface and documentation need to improve."
"The product has to be more mature, like to be another six to eight months on the market. A lot of maturity needs to be incorporated."
"The solution could be more user-friendly and provide better monitoring. The monitoring should be improved first since it is a higher priority."
"I am not really impressed with the Level 1 support, but once I get past that and go to Level 2, then we will usually get some type of resolution."
"They need to reduce the complexity and make the learning curve easier."
"If you take Spectrum Protect into account, and you have it along with restrictions to Spectrum Archive by means of LTFS, this is also something which should be made better within the overall product's program."
"There were scalability issues only in the brand new features which were recently released."
"Generally, the implementation of virtualization could be improved. The workflow service and so on are not working properly."
"Its price can be better. It is very expensive. Its interface is very old and not user friendly. They can improve its interface. Their support can also be better. My clients are not very satisfied with the support because they are not really quick."
"If IBM could provide a partial module, that would be great."
