We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Protect and Veritas System Recovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."For initial setup, we started with the blueprints, which were great. The blueprints allowed us to be able to decide if we needed to use small, medium,k or large. Because we are a large environment, we used a large blueprint. Once we followed everything in the blueprint, it was a smooth transition from there."
"From a tech perspective, utilizing deduplication is one of the most valuable features."
"The platform has valuable stability."
"It is an IBM product. With SAP, you are using IBM software to protect it. DB2 and AIX servers are both IBM. Therefore, it is a total IBM solution, which helps."
"The file-restoring feature is the most valuable."
"In general, the solution is quite user-friendly. The GUI is very nice."
"Because of the flexible parameters, everything can be fine-tuned to the customers’ needs in their environment."
"Nothing beats this solution for file backup."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"The installation was straightforward."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"You can back up the whole image."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"There is room for improvement in the service aspect."
"I want a better user interface, support, and integrations."
"I want to see better compression than what it currently does."
"I find the Level 1 and Level 2 support spend 80% of the time communicating the same information that I have already provided."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"They can include more cloud-enriching features. I would like IBM Spectrum Protect to have the functionality for backing up a VM directly in Azure. I would like to be able to back up a VM directly in Azure without spinning up a Hyper-V cluster and backing up the virtual server."
"There have been scalability issues. The core product does not support scale out. We needed to create a new system and manage resources separate from the existing one."
"The solution needs to work on disaster recovery integration. Basically, VMware applications to the cloud, for example. There needs to be integration with the storage, and integration with VMware."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"The reliability is sometimes lacking."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
