Good for Enterprise Backup

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates IBM Storage Protect from other similar products?

IBM Storage Protect stands out because it works really well with other IBM products, which is great for businesses already using them. It offers both on-premise and cloud backup on one platform, making it flexible for different needs. The system also has strong security features like encryption, and its AI-driven tools help automate backups and reduce risks. This makes it a good choice for businesses that need reliable and secure data protection, especially for sensitive information.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite part of IBM Storage Protect is how it can grow with your business. Whether you're small or large, it works well and can handle both on-site and cloud backups all in one place. The security features, like automatic encryption and checking backup reliability, make sure our data is safe. I also like how it uses AI to improve backup efficiency, making data protection both easier and more reliable.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I don't like about IBM Storage Protect is how complicated it can be to set up at first. It has a lot of great features, but it can be tough to figure out, especially for teams without an IT expert. Some parts of the interface aren't very easy to use, which makes it harder to navigate.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend IBM Storage Protect if you need a solid and flexible backup solution, especially for larger businesses or ones with more complicated data needs. It works really well if you're already using other IBM products. But if you’re a smaller business or don’t need complex features, it might be harder to set up and use. Make sure you're ready to put in the time to learn how it works and have the resources to manage it. Also, using IBM's support and training can help you get the most out of the system.
