Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Disaster Recovery (DR) Software."The most valuable features of Druva Phoenix are the simple portal to log in and flexibility."
"I found the cost-effectiveness of Druva Phoenix to be its most valuable feature, especially when compared to on-premises backup solutions."
"I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."
"Druva Phoenix is easy to use and easy to start with."
"Once you set it up and you tell it exactly what needs to be backed up, you literally forget about it. It sends you emails and notifications of the current status of the jobs."
"SPIR is Instant Recovery for Spectrum Protect. It sends snapshots using space efficiently and blocking backups to the Spectrum Protect server. It provisions the snapshot from the backup server to the same or new server near instantly."
"We can scale. Today, we have an average backup volume of 100TB a day."
"The solution is not complex, it's very easy to configure agents or VM backup and restore. Upgrades from one version to another are very fast and the product is very stable."
"For initial setup, we started with the blueprints, which were great. The blueprints allowed us to be able to decide if we needed to use small, medium,k or large. Because we are a large environment, we used a large blueprint. Once we followed everything in the blueprint, it was a smooth transition from there."
"The most valuable feature is the backup speed."
"We are able to run it in an enterprise quite easily with one or two resources."
"The product is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the centralized enterprise backup."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix."
"Druva Phoenix should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently."
"They were able to give us a very reasonable price considering we were non-for-profit organizations, however, there is always room for improvement on that cost."
"Druva Phoenix is optimized to work with x86 platforms, making it unsuitable for backing up non-x86 architectures like AIX. The solution is primarily designed for physical Linux and Windows systems based on the x86 architecture, as well as virtualized Windows and Linux environments. However, if you have an AIX system, it cannot be deployed in the cloud, and therefore, backing it up in the cloud is not a concern."
"Customers have migrated off of it because of its lack of virtual environment functions."
"The user interface (UI) for the admin is still not good. It is way too complicated to manage the product, as we still need to use command line. IBM launched the Operations Center (OC), but there are still functions lacking, especially since we cannot manage all our scheduled tasks by using the GUI."
"The administration interface should implement more functionalities that exist only in the command line and needs improvement in how some reports are created."
"There is room for improvement in IBM Spectrum Protect, especially regarding its support for virtual environment backups."
"I want to see better compression than what it currently does."
"We would like to see capabilities of long-term archiving and more support for hardware platforms."
"In a future release, it would be a benefit to have the ability to add an application as a storage target, as a storage pool. Additionally, they should add more functionality to the administration for the Operation Center."
"It needs better connectivity with other non-IBM application hardware and non-IBM platforms."
