IBM Spectrum Virtualize Review

Reviewed on Nov 03, 2021

Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?

Best used for transferring data between on-prem to Cloud datacenter. Best works if both on-prem and cloud are in the same geography

What do you dislike about the product?

Transfer speeds are based on location so selecting your datacenters and area of operations becomes critical.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

No problems faced so far. IBM Cloud support will help you in troubleshooting any issues. Only problem is that the Customer support is paid and if you are on the free support then there is no defined SLA
