Has very good integration features and can quickly backup data and optimize storage

I would like to see continuous data protection (CDP). If there is machine failure, you don't have to go to the backup copy that you took 12 hours ago. You can actually go back to the backup copy made half an hour ago. That is, it would be good to have certain-point-in-time recovery. I would like them to add global deduplication. With deduplicate backups, deduplication will work only with the data of a certain machine or a certain backup set. Usually, the data is repeated across the data of the backup sets. However, if IBM Spectrum Protect Plus provides a global deduplication option it will ultimately result in better storage savings.

An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support

I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that the product works and helps with restoration areas whenever there is a need to restore something."

"The feature I find most valuable is the offload to Spectrum Protect for long-term retention. I think the deduplication and replication are quite nice on Plus."

"There is protection against disasters with good, fast, reliable recovery options."

"A full-featured data protection solution that is reliable and stable."

"This solution is very stable and has good support available online."

"The most valuable feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its ease of use. Additionally, it does backups of all of the things we need, such as OS, files, and databases."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with Oracle."

"The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer."

More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus pros

"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."

"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."

"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."

"We find the ease of use valuable."

"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."

Cons

"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve the IBM Spectrum Protect environment. It can be difficult to administer. The initial configuration can be difficult for entry-level teams or deployment teams, and it might be difficult to integrate. There's just too much content involved in the solution. The documentation is way too large."

"The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use."

"There's significant room for improvement. They are not yet where I want them to be."

"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."

"I would like integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores."

"The backup support for IBM Power Virtualization needs to be added."

"The solution only supports HyperV and VMware but doesn't support Nutanix."

"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."

More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus cons

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"It could be cheaper."

"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."

"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."

"The solution's setup process should be simplified."

"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is too expensive."

"If you need to extend it, it can be extended acting like a normal Spectrum Protect with a long archive."

"There is an annual license required to use IBM Spectrum Protect Plus. The cost of the license could improve, it is expensive."

"In addition to the standard licensing fees, we paid for implementation and training."

"The price is perpetual, but the maintenance cost is annual. That is, we pay once for the product and pay annually for the maintenance and support. The price was much cheaper than what we would have had to pay for EMC or Veritas. The pricing is competitive, and I would rate it at four out of five."

"The price offering from IBM is coming down because it is based on number of VM machines. So, IBM is coming to the market to show the added value of the product."

"The price is lower than that of some competing products."

"Clients prefer to buy a perpetual license, but the majority opt for a yearly subscription."

More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus pricing and cost advice

"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."

"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."

"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
