We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Protect, NAKIVO Backup & Replication, and Unitrends based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It helps our customers protect their data, especially with stuff like ransomware, compliance, and regulatory requirements."
"by backing up only the changed data, we average around 75TB per night. If we had to do full backups, even occasionally, we would not be able to complete the backup within 12 hours, or we would have to make a large investment to fit a full backup within the 12 hour window."
"IBM Spectrum Protect is stable."
"Incremental backup is highly valuable as it allows for significant time and cost savings."
"Its incremental forever approach is valuable, so we don't have to load tapes to do a restore."
"The interface is easy to use."
"It is a very mature product."
"One of the features which is most interesting in Spectrum Protect is the ability to scale out to great environments. This is something that not many vendors have on the market."
"The features that we like the most are the Backup Copy and Active Directory Integration. They have helped us to save a lot of time since we do not have to make the backup copies “by hand”."
"The implementation of Nakivo made it possible to implement the information security policies currently in force in the company and to meet the statutory requirements in the field of IT security."
"The ability to create a replica of all virtual machines is a great feature."
"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs."
"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"Backup jobs are running smoothly every day with job reports sent to email after they finish each job. That gives us peace of mind."
"This solution was surprisingly easy to configure."
"It is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"It's not easy to scale it."
"VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs."
"They have great support."
"Stability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"The ability to backup both physical and virtual machines, along with having an appliance store the backups locally instead of on a file server, NAS, or SAN."
"It is fairly stable."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof."
"The reporting could be better."
"In a future release, it would be a benefit to have the ability to add an application as a storage target, as a storage pool. Additionally, they should add more functionality to the administration for the Operation Center."
"The solution's initial setup process wasn't easy...The solution is overly complicated in terms of architecture, especially compared to other tools in the market."
"It should have the ability to break down the data that's being backed up. It should have better reporting."
"For Spectrum Protect Plus, I would like to see more enhanced reporting features and integration with Spectrum Protect."
"Enhancements are required for backing up our virtual environment."
"Easier configuration of some of the products, e.g., VE comes to mind."
"It could use single store. The ability to mark an archive from my backup for long-term retention."
"An improvement would be to give us more control over the email alerts, with different emails going to different addresses based on a set of rules."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"The product needs to improve backup speed and replication speed."
"We would like to back up File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi."
"It could be a little bit faster in terms of backup and offer more reliable SQL server backups."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"For us, it would be best to improve the speed of the backup instead of adding new features."
"Right now we know that Nakivo has the ability to back up as an incremental process and restore backups across several criteria. However, it would be good if we had the ability to backup a system like PostgreSQL."
"I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release."
"No appliance update notifications."
"Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing."
"Unitrends can be challenging to scale."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
