    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.

    Snaplogic is unique from other IPASS tools if you're very sensitive about data security as they have an on-premise option where your data never needs to leave your data center. And data pipelines can be quickly created if Snaplogic has the requisite connector to your data sources. On the downside, if you're transforming a large amount of data for example in training machine learning models, a tool with elastic compute capability is more appropriate.

    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.

    • Easy access to any type of source system. Data could be in any format.
    • Very beautiful visual representation of transforms that makes it super easy to use it by any non developer.
    • It can be run in cloud or on-premise. helping you choose your comfort of security.
    • Has pretty good customer support and have recently started their community forum as well.

    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

    Snaplogic
    • They need to have a way to connect to GitHub to allow the users to maintain their version control in GitHub. This is a missing functionality.
    • As pipelines become complex, it's difficult to have all the snaps stitched together - just like to see it done differently.
    • They do not have a way to start/stop a preview. This is hard to use, especially if you have to stop an accidental preview invocation.

    This has been hands down the BEST software company I have ever used and dealt with. I am a 25 year IT veteran at this college. They go above and beyond in soliciting our feedback/input and proactively follow up about bugs, issues, etc. I have given multiple potential clients my thoughts and after seeing the SL demo they all sign up. I appreciate their support model, it's REFRESHING!

    IBM
    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.

    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.

    They can be prompt but they have not been as useful as I've wanted. We had a bug that affected many of our customers through an API connection between SnapLogic and our platform. Eventually they were able to figure it out, but it took a long time of negotiating between our engineering team and theirs. Additionally, we installed the SnapLogic groundplex for our customers and we've run into a bunch of problems of connectivity. If SnapLogic offered to be on those calls with our clients to troubleshoot how to fix these problems, I would give them a better grade here.

    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.

    We opted for SnapLogic due its ease of use and the flexibility it offers, it was the platform that was strongest in both application integration and data integration and both were use cases we wanted to be able to cover.

    Return on Investment
    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.

    • We have cut development time down by at least 70%
    • The software was more on the expensive side at renewal which required some further approvals to be sought for the spend
    • More developers are able to build and use Snaplogic pipelines in their projects
