"We are able to run it in an enterprise quite easily with one or two resources."
"Regarding stability, it's been rock solid."
"With data deduplication and compression, we are reducing our overall storage footprint for our disk histories. Therefore, we are reducing the actual cost of the disk for our data protection and data backups."
"The ability to do dedupe in the product is nice to have."
"We are talking about a stable solution which boasts good performance and security."
"The solution is really scalable."
"The solution can back up every kind of workload in the environment."
"The solution is not complex, it's very easy to configure agents or VM backup and restore. Upgrades from one version to another are very fast and the product is very stable."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"For the database side, it does not have object level recovery."
"They are behind on many things, especially security. They are catching up a little bit now, but the competitors are doing better security-wise. There should be malware detection and prevention and higher security."
"It would be helpful if the solution included some sort of ransomware protection."
"The solution should have better integration with VMware and with IBM Spectrum Protect Plus."
"It needs agents that take into account more databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.)."
"The user interface (UI) for the admin is still not good. It is way too complicated to manage the product, as we still need to use command line. IBM launched the Operations Center (OC), but there are still functions lacking, especially since we cannot manage all our scheduled tasks by using the GUI."
"I would like a little more ease with the virtual platforms, because it is a huge thing that is coming up."
"It seems like they are a little behind on the integration to Azure Cloud as well as Amazon."
