We do not have a good experience with this product.
Their documentation, runbooks, troubleshooting articles, and support people are good.
Their average mean time to resolve open tickets is an hour.
The most valuable aspects of Infrascale’s support for my company are the turnaround time and the resolution time.
The right expertise, a timely response, and being able to get to the right person to help you resolve the problem are very important.
IBM Data Protect is the scalable solution, not IBM Spectrum Protect Plus.
The solution does not provide horizontal and vertical scaling.
One person can manage hundreds and hundreds of endpoints without any issues.
I cannot determine what benefit IBM Spectrum Protect Plus brings to the organization because we deployed this solution with one customer, and that customer changed the product after one or two years because the product is not stable and it changes with every version.
I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.
There was a recent announcement in terms of moving Infrascale to the cloud, which makes it easier for the customer in terms of usability.
It does not offer horizontal and vertical scaling.
I used IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, but IBM is now replacing it with IBM Data Protect, which is a giant product now in common development with a well-known company in backup solutions.
IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could be made more lightweight and user-friendly in terms of GUI features to make it closer to a perfect score.
Many customers do not rely on just one cloud provider and want to work with multiple clouds.
When the product works, there is really nothing to fix, but they can allow different types of backups, such as differential or incremental backups.
They are fairly expensive.
Pricing is good; it is reasonable and more reasonable than any other vendors.
We recently renewed one of our agreements with them, and even though we were going to renew anyway, they added more margin in terms of a discount for us for renewing early.
To someone considering Infrascale but is concerned about the price, I would say that they should get Infrascale's service no matter what it costs because any downtime or any loss of data is substantially worse than any cost for backup.
The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others.
The biggest benefit of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is that it's an agentless backup product which is very easy to configure and use.
IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is the software we work with, and the new name is IBM Storage Protect.
What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean.
Performing backup and recovery can be done very intuitively with the solution and the interface that is part of the solution.
