Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It is pretty easy to use and maintain."
"Reliability: It has never had a problem with backups or restores. If you store something, it is there."
"The solution can back up every kind of workload in the environment."
"The most valuable features of Spectrum Protect would be the compression and the deduplication."
"A robust tool which allows us to backup pretty much any environment, virtual or physical."
"The business value comes from the capability to overcome data losses."
"Everyone wants a full backup. It gives them safety and peace of mind, like an insurance policy for that rainy day when they may need to restore a system."
"The most valuable feature is the backup speed."
"The support from IBM is very good."
"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."
"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 API is very good."
"The most valuable features of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are you have many possibilities on how to use it. We use it for backups and to create secondary and third copies. It is possible to pick up Kubernetes containers and use a different cloud provider if you need to start backups on the cloud."
"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's stability is high because it is derived from Spectrum Protect."
"Large-scale recoveries are very straightforward."
"The ntegration of physical agents with our cloud connect service is positive."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly."
"Sandbox feature is like a power tool for troubleshooting."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"With regard to our operational requirements, Veeam is very good because it's so user-friendly."
"It is a rock-solid backup solution. That's all, and that's what we were asking for."
"The backup and replication features are most valuable."
"I know it's not exactly a feature, but I accept it works and it's easy to use. With the Veeam Backup & Replication, we have no problems in managing restore. Obviously, the most important thing about backup software. I used to say that every backup software can make backups, but only good ones can make a restore."
"The licensing isn't very clear. They should work to simply or clarify the cost structure."
"It does not do too well in our virtual environment."
"It seems like they are a little behind on the integration to Azure Cloud as well as Amazon."
"Integration with some applications in the healthcare field could be added, as that is a big part of our business."
"The solution's ability to integrate with a cloud solution is one area that needs improvement."
"We recently had a situation where we quickly got code, and the number of tapes exceeded the library capacity so we were waiting a while to change. We got a fix for this right away."
"I am looking forward to new features in the next release. One of the main features is the cloud storage integration, which was one of my main required features. I've had more difficult experiences with other platforms than with this one."
"Ease of use. That has got to be the one thing that I routinely hear from clients and customers, that it's a little bit more difficult than it should be. What I'm finding is that IBM has heard that and they're responding with updated interfaces and things like that."
"I would like integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"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."
"The tool needs to increase the number of threats."
"The replication feature is not available."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"The security must be improved."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"Pricing can be improved."
"Its import and export processes for information and policies could be better."
"The cost needs to be considered."
"Veeam Backup & Replication should include a cloud solution."
"It would be ideal if users could know that their data is backed up and have some security functionality where you can actually use the backup to spin up a new cluster and take it from there."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say they could add automations for disaster migrations and for reverse replication. Overall, they need more automation."
"All our customers would like a cheaper license and more flexible deployment."
"The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better."
