We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, Rubrik, and Veritas NetBackup 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 support from IBM is very good."
"The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"The solution offers a very straightforward deployment. You click, click, click and it's done. There's not much configuration to do."
"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 most valuable feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is the deduplication functionality. The clients moved to this solution originally because of this feature."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"What I like the most about Rubrik is its user-friendly interface."
"This is a centralized tool where we are able to schedule backups and perform monitoring."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary."
"Takes me 80 percent less time to manage my backup environment."
"The search functionality is second to none as the speed of the search is fast across the whole system and predictive."
"Rubrik is a faster unit from a hardware perspective. Things, like Live Mount, mean we can bring services back straightaway, then have them transition back into the live storage in the background. Because we can use Live Mount to do instant restores, a restore is now a five-minute job. Then, the rest of it is done in the background, rather than doing something for an hour before you actually get the restore back."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"Veritas NetBackup is very user-friendly and has some good quick recovery features."
"The Replication Director, Auto Image Replication, Accelerator, Oracle Intelligent Policy, synthetic and VADP backups are the most valuable features."
"It provides us with the versatility to back up everything we require which eliminates the need for a secondary backup solution."
"The most valuable feature is flexibility."
"It is important, when we chose a solution, that the customer service/technical support team could help us when we needed it, but the support was good."
"It is easy to use, and you can run it with all kinds of client software environments. It works well with the most popular software, file systems, and operating systems. It is very useful to us."
"Its ability to cover a large spectrum of products and operating systems is invaluable. We evaluated other products but always found certain limitations like some products had only intel-based virtualization, while others had power servers."
"Unauthorized people cannot log in and execute commands."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."
"The solution should allow for backup of iOS snapshots."
"Instead of using the command prompt for troubleshooting and administering the backup, there should be an easy-to-use graphical user interface."
"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 think the graphical reports are a shortcoming of the tool since it fails to provide my company with what we want in terms of reporting. Due to the product's inability to take care of its reporting part, we have to use third-party software."
"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."
"It requires much more automation features."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"They have what's called an organization which means different groups of access to Rubrik, but the alerting only goes to the admins. My suggestion to Rubrik is to make sure that the separate organizations or groups of users get the appropriate alerting."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"The deployment and configuration of the backup service is something that could be streamlined a little bit, particularly when you're trying to do a SQL workload. You have to install a backup service on the server. You only have to do it once and then you're done, but you have to do that on every server that you want to protect."
"It needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
"The web interface could benefit from some improvement, particularly in terms of alerting and dashboard clarity. The cloud web interface is somewhat confusing and could use more development attention. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that local on-premise management options remain available alongside cloud-based solutions, as internet availability can affect backup management. Regarding features, cross-hypervisor restore functionality would be a valuable addition, allowing for greater flexibility in restoring VMs across different environments."
"We would like to be able to do granular restores directly from Exchange. Also, more granular management of VM backups would help."
"We want a solution that can be scaled-out because our data is growing very quickly, and we aren't able to back it up quickly. It takes one or two days, which is a problem. It is very slow. We just use one backup server. We want another solution with maybe a backup server cluster to back up more data in one day. We want a solution that can be scaled-out to back up our data quickly and efficiently."
"The speed of restoring data could be improved."
"Improvements can be made to the service by providing better and more competitive ratios on data backups. The functionality for backups is there with Veritas, but I would like to see them optimize and enhance this feature more."
"The interface should be improved."
"In regards to protecting the physical servers with parameters, it's a long and difficult process."
"It's not a user-friendly solution. It's a little bit complicated. The UI is not very friendly."
"Within their product lineup, they need to consolidate down to one product. Veritas doesn't have one product that does everything. So, Veritas can do everything, but you basically need to run two products. I would like them to combine all the capabilities into one release."
"The solution costs too much."
