"Good deduplication and compression features."
"Incremental forever: This feature helps us reduce backup time and backup storage space."
"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."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"Easier configuration of some of the products, e.g., VE comes to mind."
"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."
"It doesn't integrate with storage pools, with a normal pool. I'd like to see that."
"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."
"There have been scalability issues. The core product does not support scale out. We needed to create a new system and manage resources separate from the existing one."
"It should have the ability to break down the data that's being backed up. It should have better reporting."
"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 would like to see a way to have "always on" implemented."
