Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."This solution has improved our organization through better file and database recovery."
"The most valuable feature for data recovery in IBM Spectrum Protect is its database protection capabilities."
"It is a very stable product. The cost is similar to that of other enterprise solutions."
"We have been using it for several years, and it is quite reliable and predictable. We are quite comfortable with this solution. They're coming up with new features as well. It has good scalability, and it provides good integrations with business-critical applications or databases, such as SAP HANA. It works as expected, and we don't see any issues."
"Enterprise-wide type of architecture supports a lot of different platforms."
"We can freeze and start databases for consistent backups."
"I have found that the most valuable feature is useful documentation and troubleshooting."
"It is very stable after deployment and will perform in a steady state."
"Reduxio offers a very simple, elegant user interface (design) to manage it."
"The biggest feature, and one of the reasons we use it with the file shares, is its continuous Snapshotting. We can go back to almost to any point in time, not only to last night at midnight or a week ago, but 10 minutes ago or three-hours-and-so-many-seconds, or whatever the case may be. We already had a brush with ransomware in the past, so it's good to know we can dial back to just before a mishap happens."
"Reduxio provides a means of backing up the data that you store in it down to one second granularity."
"In terms of ease of use, the GUI is quite amazing and seems to be taken from a computer game. Literally within 30 minutes, we had learned almost everything there is on the management UI and started managing the device."
"Ease of user interface: prevents distractions and confusion when dealing with real-time catastrophes and high-pressure situations. Overall, it extremely easy to use. My team was trained within less than two hours."
"The unit has been running at 100% without an issue."
"Reduxio delivers a self-contained system with all of the features rolled in and functional."
"With only a few clicks, I can provision or modify storage."
"The only thing that I would like to have a little more of is insight in reporting. I find that Spectrum Protect needs a lot of monitoring, and I have to actually log into the servers."
"It doesn't integrate with storage pools, with a normal pool. I'd like to see that."
"Technical support could be improved."
"If you take Spectrum Protect into account, and you have it along with restrictions to Spectrum Archive by means of LTFS, this is also something which should be made better within the overall product's program."
"They should introduce more features for virtualization platforms and backing up IBMs. Backup speeds should also be improved."
"We need everything cloud. Strong support for cloud services. S3 connectivity, which is mandatory for us in the future along with this integration of Spectrum Copy Data Management or Spectrum Protect services together with these Spectrum Protect Plus functionalities, e.g., hardware, snapshots, and Copy Data Management. They should come together in one solution."
"Software-wise, IBM Spectrum Protect didn't handle virtual machines that well. The license cost is mainly the area for improvement in IBM Spectrum Protect."
"There needs to be a bit more automation."
"t would be helpful to have a mobile app to monitor the storage array remotely."
"The ability to look at data at a file level would be useful, as well as the ability recover at that level. Right now, you can only recover whole volumes."
"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."
"If Reduxio could manage multiple Reduxio systems within the same dashboard, or manage them as a single mode, it be very, very helpful for us."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
"We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable."
"It would be nice feature if the GUI had an option to export the current unit configuration to a file or an email recipient. In case of a disaster, this way it would be quicker to get a replacement unit up and running again."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
