"The solution is highly stable."
"In terms of stability, I've found it to be very stable. I've walked into the server room when it was at 60 degrees Celcius, and it was still running fine."
"The cataloging is the best feature. It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete."
"The command-line interface is good."
"The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data."
"Large-scale recoveries are very straightforward."
"The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team."
"Virtual snapshots that offer incremental backups."
"The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer."
"The solution offers a very straightforward deployment. You click, click, click and it's done. There's not much configuration to do."
"The support from IBM is very good."
"The most valuable feature is how we can easily power speed up the VM even though the VM resides in remote storage."
"This is a multi-platform backup solution where you can take a backup from AIX, Windows, or Linux servers and restore from CD, disk, or tape."
"I would like the possibility to back up the infrastructure and then replicate it upon on restart, without having to orchestrate the starting of the VM."
"Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times."
"IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly."
"The backup for a large amount of data is slow."
"The configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve security."
"The solution only supports HyperV and VMware but doesn't support Nutanix."
"It still needs to grow and add new features. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, I believe, requires time to become competitive due to a weakness in the other software products."
"The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use."
"I would like to see continuous data protection (CDP). If there is machine failure, you don't have to go to the backup copy that you took 12 hours ago. You can actually go back to the backup copy made half an hour ago. That is, it would be good to have certain-point-in-time recovery."
"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
