You can always expand it."

"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."

"I find the Level 1 and Level 2 support spend 80% of the time communicating the same information that I have already provided."
"Anytime you are not very current and call in with an issue, it is hard to get it resolved. It will depend on how far back you go though."

"There is room for improvement in IBM Spectrum Protect, especially regarding its support for virtual environment backups."
"In terms of features, they've got it all covered. The features they have are quite good. The only downside to it is that it is for an enterprise or big organization. In my opinion, it is not for a small business."
"Their support is lacking. I've talked to their developers and stuff in the last couple of weeks and they reassure me that some people have retired, and they're working on getting that bumped back up. But the support lacks a lot to be desired at this point."
