We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Protect Plus and NAKIVO Backup & Replication based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup of IBM Protect Plus is simple and not complex."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with Oracle."
"If the system were to go down, we needed to make sure that the system could be recovered and available as soon as possible. Spectrum Protect provides you access to directly bind the backup volume to the server and make the system available instead of restoring it and copying the system."
"Large-scale recoveries are very straightforward."
"This is a multi-platform backup solution where you can take a backup from AIX, Windows, or Linux servers and restore from CD, disk, or tape."
"The solution offers a very straightforward deployment. You click, click, click and it's done. There's not much configuration to do."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer."
"Nakivo gives users confidence in knowing that if something happens with their application server, exchange server, or other applications, they can recover it easily and quickly."
"We spend less time to get data recovered."
"NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use."
"The automatic backup and replication features are invaluable, saving us time and resources by automating routine backup tasks and ensuring data protection without manual intervention."
"The VM Backup Verification is one of the features I appreciate the most."
"This solution was surprisingly easy to configure."
"I could install and configure the trial version in maybe half an hour and had a successful backup of our file server on the same night."
"The fact that it works with Synology is a big valuable point. Also, that we can check the functionality of a backup so easily. Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product. We can save so much time with Nakivo and are very happy that we found it and loved to use it for our solutions."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"The security must be improved."
"The replication feature is not available."
"It still needs to grow and add new features. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, I believe, requires time to become competitive due to a weakness in the other software products."
"Their first level of support can be improved. Often they are too junior to understand the issues we are having, and it takes too much time to get from them to the next level of support, which is what we actually need."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"I would like more integration with security. We need to show the value of the product in regards to handling security. For example, how it handles current malware or viruses. IBM should be more proactive in this direction."
"The backup support for IBM Power Virtualization needs to be added."
"We are satisfied with Nakivo, but if anything could be improved, I think it would be more real-time as opposed to email support availability."
"Space is always an issue."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"Implementing more comprehensive data deduplication and compression techniques could optimize storage utilization and reduce backup times, improving overall efficiency."
"Personally, I would like to have the ability to backup older legacy systems on the new versions as well."
"From an administrator usage perspective, the interface is very intuitive, but maybe the wizard for creating and modifying backup jobs could look a little fancier."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
