Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Even though a lot of other people like Veeam, Tivoli's restoration and infrastructure are unbeatable, making them the only ones that we rely on despite other feasible options."

"The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."

"The flexible ways you can get to the data and the options that it gives you for backing up your valuable data are what make its offsite storage so valuable."

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"

Cons

"We rarely need to reach out to customer service; however, when we do, they have not been able to help us resolve a single call."

"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."

"Basically, the only thing I do not like about it, it was keyed off Lotus Notes."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive, but it's worth for it due to the volume of critical information within our database. We are currently paying about $22,000 per year."
