"What I found most valuable in IBM Spectrum Protect is that it allows you to back up physical machines, and its proxy feature lets you back up virtual machines."
"The platform has valuable stability."
"The solution offers very good flexibility."
"You can scale the product."
"The backup is very good. In other backup systems, you need a lot of storage to gain the same backup policy."
"The ability to migrate between media over a long period of time. My customers are long-time users, and they have benefited from being able to move between tiers. They have been able to do this within the product."
"Once it is completed properly, it is low maintenance. Most of the functions do not require much deliberation. It is all the blueprints and technologies laid out, and it is straight forward."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"The licensing isn't very clear. They should work to simply or clarify the cost structure."
"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."
"It has a lot of areas for improvement. Its reporting for job completion or incompletion can be improved. It should also provide a granular recovery, ease of operation, data life cycle management, and media management. It should support a backup in such a format that in case of a disaster, one can start the virtual machine out of the backup itself. Its reliability can also be better. It is also expensive, and their support is also poor."
"The initial setup is complex."
"It needs BMR (bare machine recovery) solutions for both Windows and Linux systems."
"Better integration with other tools and databases is needed."
"It does not do too well in our virtual environment."
"For Spectrum Protect Plus, I would like to see more enhanced reporting features and integration with Spectrum Protect."
