We performed a comparison between IBM Spectrum Protect Plus and Veeam Backup & Replication based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Some of the features we find very valuable and use a lot, are retention sets."
"The most valuable feature is how we can easily power speed up the VM even though the VM resides in remote storage."
"The feature I find most valuable is the offload to Spectrum Protect for long-term retention. I think the deduplication and replication are quite nice on Plus."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with Oracle."
"If the system were to go down, we needed to make sure that the system could be recovered and available as soon as possible. Spectrum Protect provides you access to directly bind the backup volume to the server and make the system available instead of restoring it and copying the system."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution's stability is high because it is derived from Spectrum Protect."
"The initial setup of IBM Protect Plus is simple and not complex."
"I know it's not exactly a feature, but I accept it works and it's easy to use. With the Veeam Backup & Replication, we have no problems in managing restore. Obviously, the most important thing about backup software. I used to say that every backup software can make backups, but only good ones can make a restore."
"Its simplicity and the fact that it just works are most valuable. We kind of set it up and generally forget about it. It does what we need it to do in the background, and it doesn't involve a lot of management."
"Veeam communicates with the vCenter in VMware, which means it's very smooth and doesn't interrupt production on VMware and you can backup or restore anytime, anywhere."
"It is a rock-solid backup solution. That's all, and that's what we were asking for."
"It is a good solution for backups and reporting."
"The product allows us to use data more efficiently, reducing the cost of storage and backup time. It is vital to have data available in the shortest possible time."
"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."
"The solution does a good job with VM backups."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"I think the graphical reports are a shortcoming of the tool since it fails to provide my company with what we want in terms of reporting. Due to the product's inability to take care of its reporting part, we have to use third-party software."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"I would like integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores."
"The software's technical support could improve its response time for different time zones."
"The one issue we are facing is related to file restores."
"The integration with other solutions should be improved."
"The web interface could be more visual."
"There's a lot of room for improvement surrounding the backup process."
"The replication process is very slow. It takes too long to replicate a virtual machine."
"The initial setup was not straightforward at all."
"The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."
"Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."
"The cloud part of it can be improved. There should be an option for Veeam in your own cloud, as compared to the Veeam cloud offering that's currently there. The rest of it is easy."
