"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"The solution has been very stable."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"We do not lose data. That is why we are using this product and have a backup in place."
"The scalability of IBM Spectrum Protect is good."
"It is a very stable product. The cost is similar to that of other enterprise solutions."
"by backing up only the changed data, we average around 75TB per night. If we had to do full backups, even occasionally, we would not be able to complete the backup within 12 hours, or we would have to make a large investment to fit a full backup within the 12 hour window."
"It is scalable beyond anything my customers ever aspire to."
"The solution offers very good flexibility."
"Data archiving is easier and less time-consuming."
"You can protect your data and keep it for long durations, without it spending too much time on the local disk."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"I find the Level 1 and Level 2 support spend 80% of the time communicating the same information that I have already provided."
"Stability is very good now. It used to be rocky years ago."
"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 solution could be more user-friendly and provide better monitoring. The monitoring should be improved first since it is a higher priority."
"The usability of IBM Spectrum Protect could be improved, specifically additional features to the product in the operations center. Additional reporting facilities and stronger reporting tools such as build dashboards would be beneficial."
"I need two separate solutions for virtual and physical systems. I need IBM Spectrum Protect Plus for virtual systems and Spectrum Protect for physical systems and that's a pain. It would be an improvement if they were combined."
"We would like to see bare-metal restorers."
"I think Spectrum Protect's interface is not so user-friendly, but the interface is not so friendly. Some of the functions are too complicated. I prefer a simpler solution."
