"The file-restoring feature is the most valuable."
"The solution is mostly stable."
"The backup of Sybase databases is the most valuable feature in the existing environment. They have got the most documentation out there on the internet for its software protection. The documentation is excellent, and there are a lot of blogs, websites. Because it's still one of the oldest products out there for data protection, there are also lots of people who have a lot of experience in using this solution."
"It saves you a lot of storage."
"With Spectrum Protect, you can use any type of disk to back-end the repositories. It gave us flexibility to use whatever storage we wanted at our secondary site."
"It integrates well with Spectrum Scale."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that IBM Spectrum Protect is highly integrated with IBM ESS. In addition, it allows us to back up our virtual servers directly to take VM snapshots. It runs on Linux as well."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"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."
"I should be able to backup Linux. I would like SUSE for Linux on POWER. Right now, we have to use Storex, which is a pain to use."
"The deduplication must be perfect, and thus should be improved."
"Most customers still struggle with the reporting piece, especially generating reports. I think it needs some improvements in this area."
"We recently had a situation where we quickly got code, and the number of tapes exceeded the library capacity so we were waiting a while to change. We got a fix for this right away."
"The licensing isn't very clear. They should work to simply or clarify the cost structure."
"The GUI has long been a problem for TSM/Spectrum Protect."
"It should have the ability to break down the data that's being backed up. It should have better reporting."
