"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
"The product helps us do data protection and restoration for disaster recovery (DR)."
"It helps our customers protect their data, keep it long-term, and feel pretty secure about it, basically sleeping well at night."
"The most valuable features of Spectrum Protect would be the compression and the deduplication."
"IBM Spectrum Protect is a scalable solution."
"Data reduction definitely reduces costs, not only software costs, but from the infrastructure needed."
"Enterprise-wide type of architecture supports a lot of different platforms."
"Scalability, performance, mass platform coverage. It's one of the few backup products on the market right now which an organization can bring in and it will serve all of their backup needs. It's a completely centralized solution."
"Disk-based implementation of a data protection solution for multiple sites is a better fit for my complex data protection needs."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"It lacks reporting and an efficient alert mechanism. The GUI could also be improved."
"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."
"Most customers still struggle with the reporting piece, especially generating reports. I think it needs some improvements in this area."
"I find the solution somewhat difficult to use with virtual environments or VMware."
"For Spectrum Protect Plus, I would like to see more enhanced reporting features and integration with Spectrum Protect."
"We would like to see capabilities of long-term archiving and more support for hardware platforms."
"There could be various client systems and process integration included in the product."
"IBM's support hasn't been so good in the last few years."
