Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution is highly stable."
"The command-line interface is good."
"Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data."
"In terms of stability, I've found it to be very stable. I've walked into the server room when it was at 60 degrees Celcius, and it was still running fine."
"The cataloging is the best feature. It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete."
"Incremental forever: This feature helps us reduce backup time and backup storage space."
"A robust tool which allows us to backup pretty much any environment, virtual or physical."
"It protects our data. That is what it is there for."
"One of the main things that I like about IBM is the versioning of the data - meaning that we can have multiple versions of a file or directory of a server."
"The best part of this solution is that it just works."
"It is a very mature product."
"It's a very stable product, and we've never had any downtime with it."
"The ability to migrate between media over a long period of time. My customers are long-time users, and they have benefited from being able to move between tiers. They have been able to do this within the product."
"It is a very good and easy-to-use tool for non-technical people."
"The backup for a large amount of data is slow."
"Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times."
"I would like the possibility to back up the infrastructure and then replicate it upon on restart, without having to orchestrate the starting of the VM."
"IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly."
"The configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage."
"The software is very complicated. You have to do a lot of configurations to build a server, and you would need to backup and restore."
"Any feature that is compliant with virtualizing the application should be improved."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"For the database side, it does not have object level recovery."
"The administration interface should implement more functionalities that exist only in the command line and needs improvement in how some reports are created."
"The solution should have better integration with VMware and with IBM Spectrum Protect Plus."
"It might be seen as leaning towards the legacy side, missing some features of newer solutions. The main drawbacks would be its complexity and high pricing."
"Needs more support for non-mainstream databases, in particular PostgreSQL, SQL, and MySQL."
"The price of NovaStor NovaBACKUP is an area that can be considered as a weakness or drawback, where improvements are required."
