Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
5.0
IBM SPSS Statistics delivers 50% ROI with its user-friendly interface, saving time and costs for diverse organizations.
Sentiment score
6.3
Veritas Alta Data Protection offers ROI through time and cost savings, vendor consolidation, and enhanced security against ransomware.
It is not primarily about cost optimization, but more about protecting our organization against ransomware attacks to avoid being brought to its knees.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
We can see approximately 10% in savings, which could be in terms of time saving or money saving.

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.1
IBM SPSS Statistics offers variable customer support quality, with multiple help channels, but some users experience delays in response.
Sentiment score
3.8
Customer service is good but needs improvements in regional support and availability across time zones for urgent issues.
The IVR system should be reduced so that customers can reach support directly, as when someone calls, it is typically for a critical technical issue and the call should connect directly to a representative.
Assistant General Manager System at Transasia Bio-Medicals Ltd.
This is a challenge for me, especially since I work in APAC, and whenever we engage with Veritas technical support, I must wait for someone in the United States to be available to help with our issue.

Room For Improvement

IBM SPSS Statistics needs improved visualization, integration, user interface, documentation, pricing, and licensing to meet user demands effectively.
Veritas Alta Data Protection requires user-friendly upgrades, simpler interface, AI file restoration, and better documentation and reporting tools.
I believe that the owners of IBM SPSS Statistics should think about improving the package itself to be able to treat unstructured data.

I'm unsure if SPSS has a commercial offering for big servers, unlike KNIME, which does.
Emeritus Professor of Health Services Research at University of South Wales
The solution could benefit from some artificial intelligence features where we can restore files or get assistance from the AI side.

Veritas Alta Data Protection can be deployed on multiple cloud providers, including Azure and GCP.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
I want a very simple GUI which even an L1 engineer or L1 cloud engineer can understand and use with minimum supervision.

Setup Cost

IBM SPSS Statistics is costly but justified by comprehensive features, with pricing concerns and special deals for universities noted.
Veritas Alta Data Protection is cost-effective due to discounts, offering competitive features despite being typically 20% more expensive.
Since we have been using Veritas Alta Data Protection for the last four years, the price is very friendly.

Emeritus Professor of Health Services Research at University of South Wales
We tested the effectiveness of Veritas Alta Data Protection's granular restoration feature during POC because we had a requirement to test various scenarios like restoring the bucket in a particular region, restoring the bucket in a different region, restoring EC2 instances, restoring containers, and databases.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
The unique selling proposition includes automated policy-driven operations.
Assistant General Manager System at Transasia Bio-Medicals Ltd.
The best feature Veritas Alta Data Protection offers is integration with existing hyperscalers or virtual platforms as well as integration with current computing platforms, where we can see this working well with our existing scenarios.

Associate Professor Of Statistics at a university with 10,001+ employees
Advanced predictive analytics have supported my research and student projects across many methods
The only function I may need to be added or hope to be added to IBM SPSS Statistics is how to treat unstructured data. This mainly exists with IBM SPSS Modeler, but I do not think it is able to treat something like videos and similar content unless you are using languages like Python inside IBM SPSS Modeler or inside IBM SPSS Statistics. For the menu itself, for the selection, it does not exist. Thinking of the future, I believe that the owners of IBM SPSS Statistics should think about improving the package itself to be able to treat unstructured data.

Cloud backups have secured critical data and have enabled fast recovery from ransomware threats
I do utilize the automated policy-driven operations with Veritas Alta Data Protection. They have helped in reducing manual workloads because manual intervention is required to handle errors or backup job failures when trying to back up a particular AWS account where critical resources are deployed. Discovery takes a lot of time because we are backing up data already in the S3 buckets. We often face challenges with resource discovery because discovery does not happen once a month; it happens daily. Every day, the discovery job runs before backing up resources. We may encounter issues in discovery or related to permissions, meaning if we have backup permissions on a bucket but further intensive permissions are present on any particular file, the Veritas Alta Data Protection job will skip that file. At times, backup fails with one or another error, and manual intervention is definitely needed. It is predominantly automated and policy-driven, but manual intervention is also required sometimes. We tested the effectiveness of Veritas Alta Data Protection's granular restoration feature during POC because we had a requirement to test various scenarios like restoring the bucket in a particular region, restoring the bucket in a different region, restoring EC2 instances, restoring containers, and databases. One more crucial feature for us in selecting Veritas Alta Data Protection is having replication between Veritas Alta Data Protection clusters. Once the primary backup job is complete, Veritas Alta Data Protection runs an SLP job, which is a storage lifecycle policy. This SLP job moves or replicates the data from one Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster to another. If the Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster goes down, the data is still replicated to the other Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster.
