Pros
"Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use.""In terms of stability, I've found it to be very stable.

It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete."

Cons
"The backup for a large amount of data is slow.""The configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage.""Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times.""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 →

"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud.""The integration needs improvement.""It could use deduplication features.""They could be more customer-friendly.""The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced.""In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location.""It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform.""It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
