"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."

"We need everything cloud. Strong support for cloud services. S3 connectivity, which is mandatory for us in the future along with this integration of Spectrum Copy Data Management or Spectrum Protect services together with these Spectrum Protect Plus functionalities, e.g., hardware, snapshots, and Copy Data Management. They should come together in one solution."
"If you take Spectrum Protect into account, and you have it along with restrictions to Spectrum Archive by means of LTFS, this is also something which should be made better within the overall product's program."
"The software is complex; setup is complex."
"Replication services would be nice. If these could be enhanced to be always on so multiple storage backup services could be added as a cluster pool. This would provide a better availability service."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"It should have the ability to break down the data that's being backed up. It should have better reporting."
