"Space efficient data reduction, using progressive incremental forever in combination with deduplication and compression."
"The solution is mostly stable."
"Regarding stability, it's been rock solid."
"It helps our customers protect their data, especially with stuff like ransomware, compliance, and regulatory requirements."
"Scalability: Our customers are able to grow the product without having to buy additional hardware, so it is very scalable."
"Enterprise-wide type of architecture supports a lot of different platforms."
"Data archiving is easier and less time-consuming."
"We can use it with any storage for the back-end to save data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"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."
"Easier configuration of some of the products, e.g., VE comes to mind."
"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."

"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."
"I want to see better compression than what it currently does."
"I would like to see more technical training online. Sometimes, it is a little bit difficult to find, or that I do not really know what I am looking for as somebody who is starting off finding their learning curve."
"Replication of data could be more user friendly."
