"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The solution has been very stable."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"It is pretty scalable. It will scale to anything."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that IBM Spectrum Protect is highly integrated with IBM ESS. In addition, it allows us to back up our virtual servers directly to take VM snapshots. It runs on Linux as well."
"It is pretty easy to use and maintain."
"Performance and recoveries are better. Our clients and customers are happier with the performance of it."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the centralized enterprise backup."
"One way they have improved our organization is through the stability of the solution and the availability of the product."
"It is scalable beyond anything my customers ever aspire to."
"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."
"They need to do a better job on Windows, because if you are running Windows, the scalability is more limited than AIX and Linux."
"I find the solution somewhat difficult to use with virtual environments or VMware."
"Integration with Windows environments needs improvement. It should be more "assisted", both at the application and database level. It remains a product that fits better in Unix/Linux environments than in Windows environments, given its configuration procedures."
"I need to have more than two instances working together. I need a worldwide grid able to have replication between three, four, or five instances."
"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."
"A lot of my customers always ask for legal holds, especially on email."
"It doesn't integrate with storage pools, with a normal pool. I'd like to see that."
"There were scalability issues only in the brand new features which were recently released."
