"It is very stable after deployment and will perform in a steady state."
"The ability to do dedupe in the product is nice to have."
"Everyone wants a full backup. It gives them safety and peace of mind, like an insurance policy for that rainy day when they may need to restore a system."
"We have been using it for several years, and it is quite reliable and predictable. We are quite comfortable with this solution. They're coming up with new features as well. It has good scalability, and it provides good integrations with business-critical applications or databases, such as SAP HANA. It works as expected, and we don't see any issues."
"Forever incremental - allows TSM to optimize storage needs."
"It has increased our security, scalability, and high availability."

"The best point about IBM Storage Protect is that it can use IBM tape environments, which we still use and will continue to use in the future."
"Ease of use. That has got to be the one thing that I routinely hear from clients and customers, that it's a little bit more difficult than it should be. What I'm finding is that IBM has heard that and they're responding with updated interfaces and things like that."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"It needs agents that take into account more databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.)."
"Perhaps some better documentation, which I believe was better in the past."

"It needs some software upgrades to fix some of its current bugs."
"Although I am not a technical user, I would say the cloud integration features could be improved."
"This product should be more user-friendly for newcomers."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product should improve its GUI. It should also support Windows clustering."
