Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The main feature of this product is a flexible architecture and functionality that allows you to solve problems of any complexity and scale. Most importantly, it is not just a product that simply makes a backup, but it restores and saves a large number of services in critical situations. By the way, it works fine with different types of clouds, supports S3.""It's very robust and has been on the market for a long time.""The technical support for Spectrum Protect is very mature. It is very committed to giving a top-notch support experience.""The most valuable features of Spectrum Protect would be the compression and the deduplication.""It seems very scalable and robust. It can do what we require it to do.""The scheduled backups ensure we meet the requirements for our business, and we keep backups of certain environments.""Technical support is okay. We have not had many issues with them.""In general, the solution is quite user-friendly. The GUI is very nice."

"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it.""The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful.""he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources.""What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on.""I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope.""The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use.""We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly.""The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."

Cons
"The most important feature which I wish to be added involves the GUI, the user interface.""Sometimes we experience trouble with the backup transfer of the control files.""I find the Level 1 and Level 2 support spend 80% of the time communicating the same information that I have already provided.""They need to do a better job on Windows, because if you are running Windows, the scalability is more limited than AIX and Linux.""I am not really impressed with the Level 1 support, but once I get past that and go to Level 2, then we will usually get some type of resolution.""Getting technical support all the necessary diagnostic information is still very painful.""The user interface needs to be improved.""I would like to see integration with Copy Data Management, which is an IBM product. Right now, these two products are siloed, so if these two become integrated, the product would become a bit of a powerhouse."

More IBM Spectrum Protect Cons →

"The technical team wasn't very helpful.""The usability of the solution isn't the best.""The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement.""In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines.""When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas.""The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with.""The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items.""The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."

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."
