Syed Habib

Head of Infrastructure Security (S.A.V.P) at EXIM Bank Ltd

Manageable and comprehensive and integrates robust backup features for core banking

It's adequate for my core banking, however, I am looking for another solution for all systems. It is not compatible with other operating systems like Windows or Linux, and lacks a consolidated dashboard from Browser Spectrum. This is why I am searching for another solution. The product also lacks any centralized graphical user interface (GUI), such as Jarek Pod, and I am limited to using a console-based text user interface, which my local partner handles completely.

An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support

I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has a lot more capabilities and functions than a lot of other products. Even though it is more complex, the reason is because it gives you a lot more features. This is what I prefer, especially for a long retention."

"It integrates well with Spectrum Scale."

"Scalability: Our customers are able to grow the product without having to buy additional hardware, so it is very scalable."

"We cannot live without it, since it gives us the confidence to move forward."

"It is a really scalable solution. We can scale it up. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten."

"It is a very stable product. The cost is similar to that of other enterprise solutions."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is application-aware backups."

"It is a very good and mature enterprise product. Once it is set up and everything is put in, you don't have to manage it. It actually runs automatically by itself."

More IBM Spectrum Protect pros

"We find the ease of use valuable."

"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."

"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."

"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."

"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."

Cons

"Replication services would be nice. If these could be enhanced to be always on so multiple storage backup services could be added as a cluster pool. This would provide a better availability service."

"They should have a proper technical support team serving the customers and get issues resolved earlier."

"Easier configuration of some of the products, e.g., VE comes to mind."

"It needs BMR (bare machine recovery) solutions for both Windows and Linux systems."

"I need two separate solutions for virtual and physical systems. I need IBM Spectrum Protect Plus for virtual systems and Spectrum Protect for physical systems and that's a pain. It would be an improvement if they were combined."

"They do not have a unified GUI, they only work on CLI and operations center, which is really complicated for the installation and configuration."

"Integration with Windows environments needs improvement. It should be more "assisted", both at the application and database level. It remains a product that fits better in Unix/Linux environments than in Windows environments, given its configuration procedures."

"Technical support could be improved."

More IBM Spectrum Protect cons

"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."

"The solution's setup process should be simplified."

"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."

"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."

"It could be cheaper."

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding retro-compatibility of the product between versions, your data is always available and the ROI is unquestionable."

"The solution is expensive."

"Its licensing is complicated. It goes by CPUs, and it is pretty expensive as well."

"IBM Spectrum Protect has a fixed price and includes no additional costs."

"The product is low cost. It is very cool when we design it to using licensing based on post capacity."

"The different license models can give good benefits to the end customer."

"I rate the pricing a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is not cost-effective, and ten is cost-effective."

"It is expensive."

More IBM Spectrum Protect pricing and cost advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."

"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."

"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."

"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
