    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • Agentless, scalable, self-service architecture for cloud-native applications.
    • Providing easy snapshot, backup, and restore operations and seamless deployment.
    • The user defined retention period must be reached before backups can be deleted.
