| Technical Lead at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I use IBM ProtectTIER for short-term backup, valuing its efficient cataloging. While stable and scalable, large data backups are slow, and customer service needs improvement. Setup is easy. I've used it for 15 years and recommend it, despite these performance issues. |
| Sr. Consultant, pSeries & Open Systems at Glasshouse Systems | 4.5 | I found IBM ProtectTIER a highly stable and scalable enterprise solution, with automatic workload movement being a valuable feature. While the initial setup isn't complex, it's expensive and could be more user-friendly. I rate it 9/10 for reliable, scalable enterprise needs. |
| Technical Lead at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees | 3.0 | I use IBM ProtectTIER for backup. Incremental backup and CLI are good, but I'm somewhat dissatisfied with support and legacy integration complexity. It's stable and scalable, yet I rate it 6/10, advising a proof of concept. |
| Section Head: IT Infrastructure (Networks, Servers and Security) with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | I found this solution very stable and effective at data reduction, but its high learning curve and complex configuration are significant drawbacks. Technical support could also improve. |
| Information System Consultant at CFAO Technologies | 2.0 | I use this solution for client data protection, valuing its self-service and data search features. However, it is very complex, expensive, unstable, and has frustrating technical support, leading me to consider alternative solutions, giving it a 4/10. |
| Project Manager at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees | 5.0 | I highly recommend this quick, automated VTL backup for IBM i Series, outperforming tape. It's stable and scalable, though I'd improve redundancy, full system restore for AS/400, and quicker IBM support. |
| Service Manager at a tech services company with 11-50 employees | 4.5 | I find IBM ProtectTIER a great, easy-to-use solution for database backup. It offers very good stability, good scalability, and straightforward setup. Although expensive, I highly recommend it, rating it nine out of ten. |
