"The solution has been very stable."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"One of the main things that I like about IBM is the versioning of the data - meaning that we can have multiple versions of a file or directory of a server."
"It helps our customers protect their data, especially with stuff like ransomware, compliance, and regulatory requirements."
"Spectrum Protect's best feature is that I can use it practically anywhere, on any platform, and for any servers or clients."
"Disk-based implementation of a data protection solution for multiple sites is a better fit for my complex data protection needs."
"It has to ability to backup DV2, Oracle, and Informix."
"It is good in terms of functionality. My clients are very satisfied with this solution."
"Our customers have come to trust IBM."
"What I found most valuable in IBM Spectrum Protect is that it allows you to back up physical machines, and its proxy feature lets you back up virtual machines."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"Customers have migrated off of it because of its lack of virtual environment functions."
"Enhancements are required for backing up our virtual environment."
"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."
"The most important feature which I wish to be added involves the GUI, the user interface."
"They need to do a better job on Windows, because if you are running Windows, the scalability is more limited than AIX and Linux."
"The solution is evolving, so it has to be evolved to fit all new types of software requirements too."
"We would like to see cloud integration."
"IBM Spectrum Protect could be improved by making the installation easier. Once it's implemented, it's okay. IBM started lagging behind when things started moving to storage and cloud-based solutions. Even though they've recently released updates that give cloud-based protection, personally, I still believe they are not up to par with the likes of Rubrik. The entire product is a little bit clumsy because they have co-joined two different products, so it's complex. Even from a sales/explaining to people what it does point of view, it's complex. Whereas, if you take more current products, it's a single box solution. You reel it in, you fire it up, you do a couple of points and clicks, and off you go, whereas the IBM system is seriously complex. There's a lot of training involved and it's a massively difficult product to sell at this point in time."
