    Good for daily operational backups and their replications and areas like VM backup, when it comes to resting the backups in a cloud environment especially features like BYOL is an edge to IBM over its near competitors. On the other hand, a lot of scopes to improve to have native/application-aware backups for modern applications like AI and microservices.

    • The program installation is straight forward and uncomplicated.
    • Once running it does not put a drain on system resources. After the initial backup subsequent backups are quick.
    • It does what it is deigned to do and they have kept it simple for a reason.

    Cons
    IBM
    • Incorporation of more touchless agents for physical servers.
    • Direct offload to tape - instead of requiring Spectrum Protect.

    • The reporting could use some work. If you have a client who has some serious audit controls in place, you may find yourself creating the report versus depending on the system do that piece for you.
    • My complaint would be with the notification emails. They are not configurable and come out regardless of whether a backup set completed or is still running.
    • The scheduling is a little clunky. It would be much nicer if the backup could be "continuous" anytime it's connected to the Internet (similar to Carbonite).

    Veeam is very easy to use once fully on-boarded and trained. Part of the reason we can respond to a critical situation swiftly is that it is so easy to use. We did take 2 years to be fully comfortable with the product as we tested it with others, but once we committed to Veeam, there was no question about it.

    At the moment I cannot say anything bad about the overall provided services. It's holding me back to put the mark even higher as other cloud solutions have their advantages as well, so I can't rate this one higher than competitor ones. However the experience is really positive to the moment and it has delivered always.

    IBM Spectrum Protect Plus doesn't allow taking backup of the Meditech HIMS application, due to the unique nature of the database and its functionality. As it's a special case, the vendor supports only a few fully integrated backup solutions which resulted in using Bridgehead as a trustable backup option specific to the application.

    Veeam BLOWS AWAY Veritas in terms of reliability, recoverability, and Especially PRICE! Veritas is literally thousands of dollar more than comparable Veeam Software. Veritas's support is virtually non-existent. I believe the only reason Veritas is even still in business is because of their reputation as the ONLY backup software a decade or more ago. If you use Veritas, I HIGHLY recommend throwing it away and trying out Veeam - You will NOT go back to Veritas!

    • We solved a problem where we needed a backup for some remote clients and paying the cost for local backup was not feasible.
    • allows us to put a solid backup and recovery solution in a client with very little monthly cost.
    • Business backup and recovery, disaster recovery, hybrid data protection (onsite and cloud), server and workstation backup.
