Key learnings from peers
Last updated Mar 27, 2026

Valuable Features

  • "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."

Room for Improvement

  • "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."

Pricing

  • "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."
These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.

IBM Tivoli CDP for Files Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Sr. Aix Admin at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees4.5I've used Tivoli for 15 years for Oracle backups; its reliable restoration and infrastructure are perfect despite the high cost. My main complaint is the inability to omit specific data from backups and poor customer service.
