Complex deployment has limited adoption but has provided structured backup management

IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is very simple to deploy for us, but for more clients or competitors, the solution is hard to deploy and to integrate. For our team, deployment of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus may take a couple of days and longer if you have a complex customer solution. The deployment itself is not very lengthy, but the integration in production is more complicated. I assess the efficiency of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus's Advanced Snapshot Technology as not good because they change a lot of things. During multiple versions, we have experienced many changes in the product, and from the customer's view, it is not a good product because with each evolution, we encounter problems. We do not sell this product or advise this product. For SLA management features with IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, I utilize file level. SLA management is a good solution and a good idea, but the product does not work well, and customers do not adopt this product. I cannot assess the integration capability of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus using RESTful API. I cannot determine what benefit IBM Spectrum Protect Plus brings to the organization because we deployed this solution with one customer, and that customer changed the product after one or two years because the product is not stable and it changes with every version. The customer wanted to move away from this solution. The price of the product is good, but the solution does not adapt to the market. The market in France does not adopt IBM Spectrum Protect Plus.

Point-in-time restore capabilities are built into the storage appliance

Our first impression when we were introduced to the product was very good. I still think it's very good. They are truly different. The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that. I'd rate it a 10 out of 10 because it does everything that we have asked it to do.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is how we can easily power speed up the VM even though the VM resides in remote storage."

"There is protection against disasters with good, fast, reliable recovery options."

"There is no doubt that the solution is really stable."

"The support from IBM is very good."

"The biggest benefit of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is that it's an agentless backup product which is very easy to configure and use."

"This solution is very stable and has good support available online."

"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."

"The solution offers a very straightforward deployment. You click, click, click and it's done. There's not much configuration to do."

More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus pros

"We have seen a large increase in the performance of our ERP and reporting environment, as reports which were taking minutes to run are running in seconds now."

"Write latency is averaging way under a millisecond."

"It has improved our backup and recovery window, because you can have two Reduxio machines linked up, so every block that changes on the primary storage array gets replicated to the secondary storage array. If one side or the other goes bad, you just recover from the other side."

"It has a very intuitive interface, it integrates more smoothly with our steps. With a different product from a different manufacturer, there are a lot more steps required to set up a volume, to make it available in VMware and to utilize it there."

"It needs integration with cloud vendors for remote storage, and to be able to restore a single machine from a specific volume."

"From sales to support, the company has been extremely impressive, far exceeding our expectations."

"Enables multiple hosts access to the virtual machines by providing for moving VMs due to maintenance or host failure."

"Reduxio has definitely created a different category with their technology."

More Reduxio [EOL] pros

Cons

"Their first level of support can be improved. Often they are too junior to understand the issues we are having, and it takes too much time to get from them to the next level of support, which is what we actually need."

"I would like integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores."

"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could be made more lightweight and user-friendly in terms of GUI features to make it closer to a perfect score."

"I would like more integration with security. We need to show the value of the product in regards to handling security. For example, how it handles current malware or viruses. IBM should be more proactive in this direction."

"IBM has made a decision to withdraw the product and replace it with IBM Data Protect."

"The only thing that I would like to see improved is the actual schedule that you get on the policies."

"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."

"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."

More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus cons

"Needs to be made easier to use with slightly older versions of VMware."

"I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target."

"We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable."

"I think that the only issue that I would like to see an improvement in would be the price."

"I would love to see deeper integration with VMware vSphere/vCenter."

"It would be helpful to have a mobile app to monitor the storage array remotely."

"Scalability is a little unusual. We came from the NetApp world where, if you needed more disk space, you just added more drives into the chassis, whereas with Reduxio, if you need more disk space, you have to buy a new chassis."

"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."

More Reduxio [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Depends on the licensing options that you choose."

"There are a few options available for purchasing the solutions. Overall, the price of the is high."

"The price is perpetual, but the maintenance cost is annual. That is, we pay once for the product and pay annually for the maintenance and support. The price was much cheaper than what we would have had to pay for EMC or Veritas. The pricing is competitive, and I would rate it at four out of five."

"If you need to extend it, it can be extended acting like a normal Spectrum Protect with a long archive."

"The price offering from IBM is coming down because it is based on number of VM machines. So, IBM is coming to the market to show the added value of the product."

"The initial cost of the product is perpetual but the support fees are billed annually."

"There is an annual license required to use IBM Spectrum Protect Plus. The cost of the license could improve, it is expensive."

"The price is lower than that of some competing products."

More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus pricing and cost advice

"I think that the only issue that I would like to see an improvement in would be the price."

"Depending on your cost of data loss, one ransomware or accidental deletion could pay for a Reduxio appliance."

"They have very competitive pricing and were able to work within our budget constraints as a public school."

"The pricing and licensing were favorable."

"The compression and dedupe are very effective on Reduxio, so it may be worth asking about licensing partial capacity on a unit, if the full capacity seems overkill for your environment."

"I think it is worth the value."

"Setup and licensing are included in the solution cost."

"Set up costs are minimal. We were early adopters so we received really good pricing."
