    IBM Storage Protect is well-suited for large heterogenous environments, with skilled IT staff on-hand. You need a person (or group of people) to monitor day-to-day operations, tweak schedules where needed and be mindful of things that might go wrong. It is also well-suited if you have other IBM products that integrate well with Storage Protect, like Storage Protect Plus or IBM Defender. It is less suited for small companies, with only one person responsible for IT. Employing Storage Protect would be overkill and use too much time of the administrator.

    The software tends to do a good job of basic protection but is not the best for larger clients and is not as powerful as some others offered on the market today. The support is not the best either, have had a hard time getting assistance in the past trying to resolve issues.

    Pros
    IBM
    • Tight integration with Db2. As an IBM product, it works seamlessly with Db2. You can query what is stored in TSM via Db2 itself. You can also use DB scripts to maintain the items being stored there.
    • Like most of its competitors, Tivoli handles deduplication well.
    • Provides a GUI for browsing and maintaining items stored there. I rarely use this feature, due to the next item I will post:
    • Command-line interface directly from my Db2 database servers.
    • Both client and server-side deduplication, compression and encryption are available.
    • If the requirements are zLinux and DB2 support then it's the most solid solution.
    • Can be complex to implement, but once up and running, it is rock-solid and immensely scalable.
    • Scalability is huge. Can be added onto easily.

    • It is very light weight and does not tax the computers resources
    • Has a quick scan and does not take forevere when scanning
    • It's central management on the web makes it easy to use and gives tons of control for Admins

    Cons
    IBM
    • Deployment and configuration is not easy for an unexperienced IBM Spectrum Protect administrator
    • Operations center uses a lot of data and needs a lot of storage for larger environments
    • Have not seen a redbook about it in the past 10 years

    • There are several configuration options for both end-point and DNS protection. Would like a more simple way to understand and validate settings.
    • Support is heavily video or FAQ based although you can submit a Support Ticket. Would like more availability to an actual support engineer.
    • Overtime you can forget how to change setting - a refresher course would be nice, especially as new features are added to the solution.

    In the present, a backup solution is a must-have, but then companies start using a solution for virtual machines, another solution for bare-metal servers, and another solution for their ERP. By using Spectrum Protect you can have all of that in a single pane of glass. This way you can have a simple recovery plan for all your information assets.

    Webroot Endpoint Protection has been great for us, as its simple, cloud-based management console allows us to quickly deploy easily monitor all of our endpoints. However, it could improve by offering more customizable reporting options for deeper insights into security events and the interface could also use some updating, as it feels a bit dated.

    The few times we've called for support we eventually got an answer, but it's IBM and a very big company and getting to a support agent is hard.

    Support has been reliable up to this point. A request can easily be generated via the console and support responding in a reasonable time. We have not had any major issues other than the basic agents not communicating with the console and the like.

    I had some difficulties with remote users. I ended up needing to open a remote tech support session and finish the process. Other than a few speed bumps, I was impressed with the engineering of the install. Because of time differences, I was done installing in two days. The cost, per license, could be less.

    IBM Spectrum Protect is related to the other IBM Spectrum products listed because it is part of the suite and is also the main backup product for backup and restoration of information. With Veeam it is related as they present competence in different lines of technology, often the integration of both tools can be the best solution for clients looking for a successful backup strategy.

    Webroot is good in a way that it is an all encompassing solution one stop shop for protecting endpoints but it needs to be managed and licensed. Some users do not need constant protection or need to have it on their machines in where the combination of Field Effect and Malwarebytes is more effective.

    IBM
    • Tivoli does well running file-level backups, but Exchange is clunky and restores are really hard. With no SharePoint agent, if you use SharePoint you will need another product like AvePoint DocAve. The web-based GUI console is MUCH improved over earlier versions, but you will still need to be a command-line guru to make Tivoli do everything, and local (node) config files still rule. This product was originally ported from Unix and retains may of its 'nix roots.

    • The DNS filtering allows for a very granular configuration of endpoints
    • The cost to benefit ratio is good. It is not a real EDR player yet, but the development looks promising
    • Its best feature is integration with our MSP software, providing actionable tickets.
