"It's a very stable product, and we've never had any downtime with it."
"In the past, one of the most valuable features, and the biggest advantage, was the incremental forever feature. Not many other backup vendors provided that. In the pre-virtualization environment, it was very robust and simple technology, especially writing to tape."
"It is a very mature product."
"It allows us to have one interface."
"The most valuable features are the stability and also how it's seamlessly integrated with other IBM offerings."

"The licensing isn't very clear. They should work to simply or clarify the cost structure."
"They should introduce more features for virtualization platforms and backing up IBMs. Backup speeds should also be improved."
"It should have the ability to break down the data that's being backed up. It should have better reporting."
"Enhancements are required for backing up our virtual environment."
"Perhaps some better documentation, which I believe was better in the past."
"A lot of my customers always ask for legal holds, especially on email."
"RTO is a huge gap for us. If we had a disaster scenario and had to recover a bunch of stuff from tape, the RTO would be too long for us."
