Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The software-defined ability to do data reduction through deduplication and compression, as well as being able to replicate data to a cloud container.""The archiving feature is the most valuable aspect of the solution.""Because of the flexible parameters, everything can be fine-tuned to the customers’ needs in their environment.""The amount of data that it protects with very little storage by doing incremental forever is one of its most valuable features.""The file-restoring feature is the most valuable.""Traditional storage works perfectly with it.""Data reduction definitely reduces costs, not only software costs, but from the infrastructure needed.""The most valuable features of the product are data deduplication and disaster recovery."

Cons
"I think Spectrum Protect's interface is not so user-friendly, but the interface is not so friendly. Some of the functions are too complicated. I prefer a simpler solution.""If IBM could provide a partial module, that would be great.""Any feature that is compliant with virtualizing the application should be improved.""The solution is evolving, so it has to be evolved to fit all new types of software requirements too.""The licensing isn't very clear. They should work to simply or clarify the cost structure.""I need to have more than two instances working together. I need a worldwide grid able to have replication between three, four, or five instances.""We have had some problems about using storage agents on the X6 environment. It is not quite stable, but it is also not supported in a virtualized environment.""We did not see any drawbacks to IBM Spectrum Protect before assisting a customer using Windows that wanted to migrate to using UNIX. IBM Spectrum Protect does not offer an option to migrate from other operating systems."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Technical support is pretty good. It is doing fine, but you pay for it."
  • "Licensing can be either complicated or simple depending on what type of licensing you wish to use and what works best for your environment."
  • "At scale, the consumption license (per TB) is very expensive."
  • "Use capacity licensing. It's easier and cheaper."
  • "We worked our licensing into a capacity model, which is nice. Now, everything is much simpler to manage from a licensing perspective.​"
  • "We chose IBM Spectrum Protect, because they actually have something called MSP pricing, which means managed services provider pricing. The pricing was attractive, and it seems to be a platform that IBM is totally investing on in terms of new functions and new capabilities."
  • "Spectrum Protect is not expensive, and it is simple to use."
  • "It is very scalable, but the downside is that it costs money."

    Overview
    IBM Spectrum Protect (Tivoli Storage Manager) is a data protection platform that gives enterprises a single point of control and administration for backup and recovery. It is the flagship product in the IBM Spectrum Protect (Tivoli Storage Manager) family. It enables reliable, cost effective backups and fast recovery for virtual, physical and cloud environments of all sizes.

    The native Active Directory backup and recovery utility from Microsoft fails to deliver rapid restorations due to its clunky user interface and lack of control over attribute-level changes. This emphasizes the need for an AD backup and restoration tool that must be user friendly, and also be able to restore all AD objects, including users, computers, groups, containers, OUs, DNS data, and GPOs.

    RecoveryManager Plus is one such web-based Active Directory backup and restoration software that is easy to use and also enables you to back up all your AD objects as well as recover deleted objects. Additionally, it offers you the flexibility to restore only specific type of objects or just specific attributes of desired objects.
