"Regarding technical support, if one has the entire enterprise support, I would rate it a nine out of ten...Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten."
"The MN backup for a cluster is most valuable because it has made backing up the GSF as a zero-file system easier. I like its stability a lot. Over the years, I very rarely had a problem with it."
"SPIR is Instant Recovery for Spectrum Protect. It sends snapshots using space efficiently and blocking backups to the Spectrum Protect server. It provisions the snapshot from the backup server to the same or new server near instantly."
"It helps our customers protect their data, especially with stuff like ransomware, compliance, and regulatory requirements."
"We are able to run it in an enterprise quite easily with one or two resources."
"The backup is very good. In other backup systems, you need a lot of storage to gain the same backup policy."
"Its flexibility is valuable. It is a very flexible solution. There are always more ways than one to do something. It is a software solution, which means you can buy your own hardware and expand it whenever you want. You are not boxed in or locked into something you've bought and outgrown. You can always expand it."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is its ability to verify the recoverability of backups."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"It needs better connectivity with other non-IBM application hardware and non-IBM platforms."
"My customers are not always happy with the Level 1 support. Sometimes, it just takes too long for the response to come, which is probably something that needs to be addressed."
"We cannot take VMware backups for our banking data center environment."
"Ease of use. That has got to be the one thing that I routinely hear from clients and customers, that it's a little bit more difficult than it should be. What I'm finding is that IBM has heard that and they're responding with updated interfaces and things like that."
"We would like to see capabilities of long-term archiving and more support for hardware platforms."
"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."
"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."
"I think Spectrum Protect's interface is not so user-friendly, but the interface is not so friendly. Some of the functions are too complicated. I prefer a simpler solution."
