We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Protect Plus and Reduxio [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the API features because it allows you to integrate with your Microsoft SQL, your Oracle, and your IBM Db2."
"The solution's stability is high because it is derived from Spectrum Protect."
"The API is very good."
"Virtual snapshots that offer incremental backups."
"The solution integrates well with other tools."
"The initial setup of IBM Protect Plus is simple and not complex."
"The BackDating feature which allows us to go back to any point in the past at one second granularity, is an amazing feature and allows us to recover from any mishap to our data – whether it's a malware attack, an application error or a human error. We have never seen this capability in any other storage product."
"The Reduxio unit is superior in its ability to recover from any second."
"The machine installed without difficulty."
"We were also pleased to learn that Reduxio also has, beside dedup and compression that actually works, the "time machine" built in, which allows you to go back a few seconds or a few minutes before a ransomware attack gets you."
"Reduxio allows you just spin a dial and go back to just about any time… in most cases (depending on the policies you’ve set) to go back within one second granularity for a couple weeks in the past."
"Any time I have needed anything, from a simple question to someone to be onsite, the customer service has been exceptional."
"We are enjoying a quantum leap in speed, reliability, and available space with this system."
"In the event of a deletion, corruption, or ransomware, I am never going to lose more than one second of changes."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"The one issue we are facing is related to file restores."
"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 solution should allow for backup of iOS snapshots."
"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."
"An area that needs improvement is data validation. We currently use another product that gives us immediate validation, information about when the last backup was, and no risk of corruption happening. TSM in IBM Spectrum is not mature so that you can validate on the spot."
"I would like integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
"the only thing I would say negative about Reduxio is the cabling was a little bit confusing at first, but now that we understand it, it's easy. It was just so different from what we've seen before. That was the only hard part to get used to. The storage array is fully redundant, so there are some cross-connect cables that you have to run, from the A side to the B side, and the B side back to the A side, and we've just never seen anything like that before. But now that I understand the design, it makes complete sense. But initially it was confusing."
"Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration."
"Scalability is a little unusual. We came from the NetApp world where, if you needed more disk space, you just added more drives into the chassis, whereas with Reduxio, if you need more disk space, you have to buy a new chassis."
"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."
"Scalability. Reduxio has only one product, they don’t have an option, for now, to expand the storage product."
"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."
"I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target."
