| Senior System Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees | 3.5 | I manage daily backups, retentions, and replications with IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, valuing its reliability and recovery features. However, its ransomware protection needs improvement. I'm exploring Cohesity due to its scalability, cyber recovery, and ease of upgrades. |
| IT Specialist at Saudi Business Machines - SBM | 4.5 | I found IBM Spectrum Protect Plus to be a straightforward, agentless, web-based backup solution that's easy to use and deploy. Although IBM is transitioning to IBM Data Protect for new projects, Spectrum Protect Plus remains competitive and cost-effective compared to Veeam. |
| Architecte Solutions at Novahe | 2.0 | I've worked with IBM Spectrum Protect Plus for over 20 years, but due to stability issues, complex integration, and poor market adoption in France, I wouldn't recommend it despite its affordability and decent SLA management features. |
| Manager - Storage & Backup at a pharma/biotech company with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I've used IBM Spectrum Protect Plus for nearly 10 years and found it effective with good ROI, though the setup is complex and technical support could improve. It's reasonably priced and I recommend it despite some GUI and usability concerns. |
| Chief Information Officer and Program Lead at Gatron Industries Ltd | 3.0 | I use IBM Spectrum Protect Plus as a reliable backup solution that simplifies configuring backup policies and managing large-scale recoveries. However, improvements in security and cyber resiliency are needed, especially against ransomware, and local expert availability is limited. |

| System, Storage and Data Administrator at ORNESS | 3.5 | I use IBM Spectrum Protect Plus for backup purposes, valuing its effective restoration capabilities.
