    The outstanding storage capacity, organized security measures, and appropriate business features of IBM Cloud Backup make it something I'd recommend at any time of day or night. Furthermore, the software is online and hence easily accessible from a distance. The application's stability and strength are further assurances that all authorized business users are in safe hands.

    For companies with more than 10 Windows devices and needing to standardize the OS, AV, access, share resources, and install software. SCCM is the way to go. This software is unnecessary if the business is all remote users and not in an office-type setting. There are cloud offerings or none to accomplish what a business needs.

    I like the fact that you can easily restore your workloads on-demand with a cloud-native backup and recovery platform. Also, the roadmap and future vision it promises seem appealing to me as a recent user, and despite the fact that it receives regular updates, this remains one of the few OpenStack solutions that actually work. I can't find any faults other than thinking that when the free trial ends, will I really purchase the pro version (if available by then)? However, it is a flexible and scalable solution for your business.

    Cons
    IBM
    • The set prices for the product is a problem.
    • Secondly, IBM Cloud Backup customer help should be more speedy.
    • IBM Cloud Backup is so automated, and in case of a power failure, accessing some of this data can be challenging.

    • The product could improve in the area of having better mechanisms in place with how the SCEP client is deployed/installed from the server on the management side. We have run into this firsthand with the client not installing on an endpoint, and then having to take the time to investigate why it was not installing.
    • A second improvement that can be made is to keep trying to improve the products detection rate for finding malware/viruses. The case can be made that there are some products out there that do a better job at this and have a higher detection rate.

    • In order to deploy TrilioVault, you should plan accordingly because the process is time-consuming.
    • It could cost a little less than what it is up for at the moment.
    • I have no other complains as the app works well with OpenStack.

    It is not user-friendly for the most part. With IT infrastructure, sometimes it cannot handle excess requests. Every few months, you will need an upgrade in terms of server resources to keep up with incoming alerts and requests. This does not happen all of the time, but it does happen when there are too many requests.

    There is a fair amount of documentation out there to help you when you have questions or run into issues with this product as well as tutorials on some of the more common tasks. Between the documentation and the overall ease of use we haven't had to deal with direct Microsoft support for this product.

    Pricing and how easy it is to use. We use other IBM products in our office and it is nice to have everything on one network. The experience for users and managers is better, even new employees who can learn quickly. It also makes it more affordable for us.

    We previously used a mix of FOG and Clonezilla to image machines. The biggest issues with these products is that changing one piece of the image required you to rebuild the entire image itself. These pieces of software also did not allow you to manage applications and Windows Updates, causing IT to have to constantly touch machines after they were imaged and update or manage them with a much more hands on approach.

    With Veeam, these are some of the things that I found are not applicable to Triliovault: The database can sometimes get errors, especially if the workstation's name changes. Depending on your infrastructure and what you run, it can be expensive. It can only be installed on the server because it's a super heavy application.
