Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution is scalable."
"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."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"With this product, we now have a reliable backup solution."
"The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team."
"The initial setup of IBM Protect Plus is simple and not complex."
"The API is very good."
"The most valuable feature is how we can easily power speed up the VM even though the VM resides in remote storage."
"The most valuable feature is the backups."
"I like that they have some new devices that are simpler to use because they kind of tie right into the cloud."
"The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use."
"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."
"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."
"Instead of using the command prompt for troubleshooting and administering the backup, there should be an easy-to-use graphical user interface."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
"The software's technical support could improve its response time for different time zones."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"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 restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."
"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery."
