Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The solution is highly stable.""Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use.""The command-line interface is good.""The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data."

More IBM ProtectTIER Pros →

"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent.""I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."

Cons
"Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times.""The configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage.""The backup for a large amount of data is slow.""IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly.""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."

More IBM ProtectTIER Cons →

"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability.""Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."

  • More IBM ProtectTIER Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I do not oversee this aspect, as pricing is contingent on factors such as volume, technical specifications, and the desired features. Consequently, I lack information on the pricing details and structure."
