Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."With this product, we now have a reliable backup solution."
"This is a multi-platform backup solution where you can take a backup from AIX, Windows, or Linux servers and restore from CD, disk, or tape."
"The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer."
"The solution integrates well with other tools."
"The solution's stability is high because it is derived from Spectrum Protect."
"Virtual snapshots that offer incremental backups."
"The initial setup of IBM Protect Plus is simple and not complex."
"A full-featured data protection solution that is reliable and stable."
"The most valuable features are the ability to create a trust relationship and historical reports."
"The most valuable feature is the trouble-free operation, as we have not had many problems with it."
"The most valuable feature is that it is basically a replica of our SAND data. We archive the SAND data for recovery, if there is an issue on the fence."
"The most valuable feature is that you don't need any special connectivity - you just need to give your seller name, and then it automatically discovers all your virtual machines, which is a great benefit, especially in a bigger environment."
"What I like most is it is a professional product. It supports all kinds of technologies, and I consider it one of the best backup products available."
"Veritas NetBackup provides good backup performance, and I can mount the snapshot without an installer."
"It has a very good user interface."
"AIR and duplication, overall management and troubleshooting."
"It requires much more automation features."
"Rooms for improvement in IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are installation and configuration because those were difficult. They should try their best to improve those areas. In the next release of the product, better implementation and administration are what we're expecting."
"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 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."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve security."
"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."
"When the customer is using SaaS applications like Office 365, the integration falls short and needs to be improved."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"The pricing is a bit of a concern. If could be lower."
"The flip side about NetBackup is that it is not policy-based."
"The biggest additional features needed are more cloud capabilities and security from ransomware."
"The solution could have a more clear dashboard about the license and the operation status."
"The backup operation interface is not as mature as those of Veritas's competitors and has room for improvement."
"The solution is not that stable because it has to be monitored and administered every day. The stability could be improved."
