Complex deployment has limited adoption but has provided structured backup management

IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is very simple to deploy for us, but for more clients or competitors, the solution is hard to deploy and to integrate. For our team, deployment of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus may take a couple of days and longer if you have a complex customer solution. The deployment itself is not very lengthy, but the integration in production is more complicated. I assess the efficiency of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus's Advanced Snapshot Technology as not good because they change a lot of things. During multiple versions, we have experienced many changes in the product, and from the customer's view, it is not a good product because with each evolution, we encounter problems. We do not sell this product or advise this product. For SLA management features with IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, I utilize file level. SLA management is a good solution and a good idea, but the product does not work well, and customers do not adopt this product. I cannot assess the integration capability of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus using RESTful API. 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. The customer wanted to move away from this solution. The price of the product is good, but the solution does not adapt to the market. The market in France does not adopt IBM Spectrum Protect Plus.

Point-in-time restore capabilities are built into the storage appliance

Our first impression when we were introduced to the product was very good. I still think it's very good. They are truly different. The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that. I'd rate it a 10 out of 10 because it does everything that we have asked it to do.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The licensing model of Spectrum Protect Plus is more efficient and cheaper compared to the original."

"The most valuable feature is how we can easily power speed up the VM even though the VM resides in remote storage."

"The solution's stability is high because it is derived from Spectrum Protect."

"The biggest benefit of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is that it's an agentless backup product which is very easy to configure and use."

"With this product, we now have a reliable backup solution."

"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is a good investment."

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

"The solution is scalable."

More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus pros

"After running production workloads for over a year without a single failure and performance improvements across the board, I highly recommend this storage solution to anyone in the market."

"We are able to recover to the second, if needed, our data. This greatly improves restore capability, for example, if there is a cryptolocker outbreak or data loss."

"We have already replaced our storage and backup with Reduxio’s converged primary and secondary platform."

"The machine has been easy to use."

"In terms of ease of use, the GUI is quite amazing and seems to be taken from a computer game. Literally within 30 minutes, we had learned almost everything there is on the management UI and started managing the device."

"Reduxio delivers a self-contained system with all of the features rolled in and functional."

"I sleep better at night knowing that my data is covered, especially in these times of ransomware and zero-day attacks."

"If you’re looking for a low latency, high capacity, dead simple, storage appliance, Reduxio HX550 should be your only choice."

More Reduxio [EOL] pros

Cons

"Sometimes you have to try to restore things multiple times. It can sometimes take a whole day just to get a recovery up and running."

"We have to do a tech refresh, during the migration process and it doesn't allow a straightforward pathway."

"The tool needs to increase the number of threats."

"The security must be improved."

"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."

"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."

"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."

"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."

More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus cons

"Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market."

"It would be nice feature if the GUI had an option to export the current unit configuration to a file or an email recipient. In case of a disaster, this way it would be quicker to get a replacement unit up and running again."

"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."

"Needs to be made easier to use with slightly older versions of VMware."

"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."

"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."

"The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine."

"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Depends on the licensing options that you choose."

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

"The licensing model of Spectrum Protect Plus is more efficient and cheaper compared to the original."

"We have a perpetual license for the tool since it is deployed on-premise."

"Unlike some other solutions, such as Veritas NetBackup where you have to pay for different licenses to use different features, there is a single license that allows you to use all of the features."

"I rate the price of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus a one on a scale of one to ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten is very cheap."

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

More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus pricing and cost advice

"They are very competitive in pricing, so I would definitely recommend Reduxio."

"All of their new features that were released following our purchase are free of charge. For example, we are about to upgrade getting cloud integration for free."

"I think it is worth the value."

"ROI is how much (time, money, resources) you will save in case of a ransomware attack because you had this box."

"Depending on your cost of data loss, one ransomware or accidental deletion could pay for a Reduxio appliance."

"The advantage of using HDDs to store (versus pure flash) makes the price point attractive versus other options."

"I think they're really worth what I get. It's not cheap, but I get all I need."

"I think the pricing is good value, because you're not just buying a storage array, you're buying a backup solution and a DR solution and a "time machine" solution, all bundled in one storage array. When we had NetApp storage we had to then go out and buy a copy of Veeam which is a backup solution. With the Reduxio, you still need to do backups but you don't need that software product."
