"The solution's ability to integrate with a cloud solution is one area that needs improvement."
"Generally, the implementation of virtualization could be improved. The workflow service and so on are not working properly."
"The only thing that I would like to have a little more of is insight in reporting. I find that Spectrum Protect needs a lot of monitoring, and I have to actually log into the servers."
