Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It is a very stable product. The cost is similar to that of other enterprise solutions."
"The most valuable feature for data recovery in IBM Spectrum Protect is its database protection capabilities."
"We've found the product to be quite stable and the performance is very good."
"The technical support for Spectrum Protect is very mature. It is very committed to giving a top-notch support experience."
"It has a lot more capabilities and functions than a lot of other products. Even though it is more complex, the reason is because it gives you a lot more features. This is what I prefer, especially for a long retention."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is application-aware backups."
"With Spectrum Protect, you can use any type of disk to back-end the repositories. It gave us flexibility to use whatever storage we wanted at our secondary site."
"We work very closely together with IBM using their Support Center, but we have a strong contact in their development teams, and we have dedicated people from IBM working with us."
"Veeam is very user-friendly and intuitive software."
"The initial setup, if it is error-free, is very simple."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a VMware environment."
"The most valuable features are backup and restore. This solution is also easy to use."
"To do the actual backup configuration is also not too bad."
"I like working on the Azure platform."
"I don't have any major problems with the agent connectivity with Microsoft applications or Microsoft Azure."
"Technical support is good."
"Scalability is poor. As you get to bigger environments, this is where our gaps have been introduced. As we have grown over the past couple of years, the gaps have become more apparent."
"It's difficult in terms of the configuration at set up. In our case, it required another admin, one person dedicated to the backup."
"The solution should have better integration with VMware and with IBM Spectrum Protect Plus."
"Perhaps if they could add replication to a second site or third site from the same console, that would be helpful. Currently, we have to connect to another console."
"Restoring massive files is a very time-consuming process."
"We are still using TSM Manager for many of our projects to administer our platform because the gap was not resolved with the new Operations Center."
"The product should be improved to save more space."
"We would like to see cloud integration."
"The support could be improved a lot, as it is currently non-existent."
"It fulfills our needs in terms of features. In terms of improvements, they can maybe improve its documentation."
"They should improve the solution's automation features."
"There should be an option to use the solution for physical machines."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes."
"There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure."
"A lower price would always be beneficial."
"The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete."
