"Performance and recoveries are better. Our clients and customers are happier with the performance of it."
"It is pretty easy to use and maintain."
"It is a really scalable solution. We can scale it up. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten."
"It scales from very small to very large. It is easily the most scalable product out there."
"Incremental backup is highly valuable as it allows for significant time and cost savings."
"It is very stable. A plus is to use POWERAge for the SNR copy of the Spectrum Protect, then it is more reliable."
"One of the main things that I like about IBM is the versioning of the data - meaning that we can have multiple versions of a file or directory of a server."
"It protects our data. That is what it is there for."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"IBM's support hasn't been so good in the last few years."
"Although I am not a technical user, I would say the cloud integration features could be improved."
"There have been scalability issues. The core product does not support scale out. We needed to create a new system and manage resources separate from the existing one."
"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 would love to see something which allows us to do an auto restart of backup jobs."
"The administration tools for GI need improvement, as the current assessment suggests shortcomings in the back-end system."
"This solution does not have good support for virtualization and a hyper-converged environment."
"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."
