"The solution has been very stable."
"The product is very stable."
"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 covers all the different operating systems. If you need backup, it can pretty much do everything."
"Because of the flexible parameters, everything can be fine-tuned to the customers’ needs in their environment."
"The tool proves invaluable in scenarios where systems need recovery, such as restoring damaged data."
"The most valuable features of the product are data deduplication and disaster recovery."
"It scales well. We have grown here in the last year or two, and it has been relatively easy."
"We do not lose data. That is why we are using this product and have a backup in place."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"For Spectrum Protect Plus, I would like to see more enhanced reporting features and integration with Spectrum Protect."
"Easier configuration of some of the products, e.g., VE comes to mind."
"I would like to see the operations center be a lot more functional. It was nowhere near as functional as the admin center, and I'm doing a lot of command line with it."
"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."
"They can include more cloud-enriching features. I would like IBM Spectrum Protect to have the functionality for backing up a VM directly in Azure. I would like to be able to back up a VM directly in Azure without spinning up a Hyper-V cluster and backing up the virtual server."
"It should have the ability to break down the data that's being backed up. It should have better reporting."
"We have run into some periods where we have found some tape issues which were causing us problems, but we resolved them. For some reason, we had a bunch of drives go offline on our disk storage (our virtual library)."
"I find the Level 1 and Level 2 support spend 80% of the time communicating the same information that I have already provided."
