"We are able to run it in an enterprise quite easily with one or two resources."
"It saves you a lot of storage."
"Scalability, performance, mass platform coverage. It's one of the few backup products on the market right now which an organization can bring in and it will serve all of their backup needs. It's a completely centralized solution."

"Replication of data could be more user friendly."
"Our new leadership has pushed us to go more toward the cloud, so we are definitely going to leverage anything we can in that direction."
"I am not really impressed with the Level 1 support, but once I get past that and go to Level 2, then we will usually get some type of resolution."
"It needs better connectivity with other non-IBM application hardware and non-IBM platforms."
