We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, Rubrik, and Veeam Backup & Replication based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."This solution is very stable and has good support available online."
"The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team."
"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 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."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"We used to use the solution with tapes a few years ago. We've switched to discs, and it has gotten much faster."
"The solution integrates well with other tools."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is the deduplication functionality. The clients moved to this solution originally because of this feature."
"A Google-like file search, system scaling, and a frequent development cycle are some positives that this solution offers."
"The system is able to determine when it is the best time to do backups. This is SLA-driven, and if it is not possible to maintain this SLA, the system will tell you too."
"Not having to specify a time to run a backup with a fixed schedule is something that's really beneficial. In the past we had to schedule and try to manually stagger things over the window, to back up everything. Because Rubrik is SLA-based, you say, "Well, I need it to fit in this window here," and it just backs it up when it's most convenient for the Brik and for the third-party system. It looks at the CPU usage and says, "Okay, it's not as busy now. I know I've got time to take the backup." That's a real advantage."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is a very simple system compared to just about any other back up technology. It is extremely easy to use and very versatile."
"The search functionality is second to none as the speed of the search is fast across the whole system and predictive."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"We have a great success rate for backups with Rubrik and because of the ease of automating tasks, we also run periodical restores to check the quality of the backups."
"Its ease of use for restore is really good. For Exchange, the Exchange Active Directory is great."
"It's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
"The solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are very good."
"The ability of instant VM recovery, which means starting the backup VM and getting it online while the recovery is still happening is the most valuable feature."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"I like that the solution is very simple to install."
"I would like integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It requires much more automation features."
"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."
"The tool needs to increase the number of threats."
"I want to see more features regarding filtering in the Snapshot Window, as I need to be able to set a filter for specific dates and times. If I want to check an old backup, I must scroll through one or two years of backups to find what I'm looking for."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
"Rubrik could improve in customization options for dashboards."
"We have some challenges with the solution's reporting because historical reports have some limitations."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"Rubrik is expensive."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
"The whole graphical user interface is very easy, but the details are hidden deeply and aren't easily visible. You cannot easily see the details and explore or choose the settings. We should be able to easily explore various settings and options. If you can see more details while choosing the settings or setting it up, it helps in getting the software running easily. For example, in Microsoft Office, you can see much more in the interface than in Veeam Backup & Replication. It is a complex software. It is not easy to use, and you must know what to do and where to do. The user manual has more than a thousand pages. They should give some direct information through the software and improve the software. On their website, they can have some videos and step-by-step information to make us come straight to our goals."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It could be simpler to use."
"The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."
"I only ever found one error. It was when we were doing a file copy job. After using it for ten minutes, it would slow down and cause a bottleneck error."
"The direct SAN backup integration can be perfected by improving the snapshot removal mechanism and process from the storage volumes."
"It's a great product, but only if you have everything virtualized."
"I would like to have them come up with more robust features when it comes to individual endpoint protection."
"Margins should not be distinct; instead, they should seamlessly integrate with the Veeam Backup and Replication tools, requiring minimal separation."
