"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"The solution has been very stable."
"It is an IBM product. With SAP, you are using IBM software to protect it. DB2 and AIX servers are both IBM. Therefore, it is a total IBM solution, which helps."
"I find the whole product useful. The backup archive client, snapshot, spectrum for virtual environments are beneficial features."
"We optimize our costs of media and storage use, thanks to the Incremental Forever backup. The TDP software provides us many ways to protect our data, so we don't need to use monstrous scripts for doing backups now."
"Good user interface."
"The licensing isn't very clear. They should work to simply or clarify the cost structure."
"It helps our customers protect their data, keep it long-term, and feel pretty secure about it, basically sleeping well at night."
"Once setup, you do not need to touch it again. You just need to do a formal check on possibly batch updates."
"Spectrum Protect's best feature is that I can use it practically anywhere, on any platform, and for any servers or clients."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"Probably educating the virtual group who are not as used to the product. Most of our expertise is with AIX servers and virtual server backups."
"I would like to advance reporting and analytics for the platform to see how much data is coming into the platform. how much data is expiring everyday, and what tape savings we are getting through reclamation."
"I find the solution somewhat difficult to use with virtual environments or VMware."
"I want a better user interface, support, and integrations."
"Ease of use."
"I find the Level 1 and Level 2 support spend 80% of the time communicating the same information that I have already provided."
"Replication services would be nice. If these could be enhanced to be always on so multiple storage backup services could be added as a cluster pool. This would provide a better availability service."
"It does what we need it to do, but it could be better with VM backups. It could be better integrated with virtual machines or VM backups, but that's why they have their Plus out now. Plus version is more geared toward VM backups. The regular version is more for endpoint clients."
