"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The solution has been very stable."
"The way it covers backup and archive needs. The flexibility of backup copy group always allows me to cover the customer's requests."
"We have been using it for several years, and it is quite reliable and predictable. We are quite comfortable with this solution. They're coming up with new features as well. It has good scalability, and it provides good integrations with business-critical applications or databases, such as SAP HANA. It works as expected, and we don't see any issues."
"The fact that we can take the backup straight onto tape is the most valuable feature."
"Their GUI has improved quite a bit. It's made the solution a lot simpler and less complex."
"The feature we have found most valuable is when you want to integrate it with a Tape Library and then do the DRM life cycle. That is when it works the best."
"It is also a product that has been maturing for a long time. This is good because customers need reliability in their enterprise initiatives."
"The D2D2T archive of my PACS data improved after I put Spectrum Protect 8.1.4 into production."
"It provides our customers with the comfort of having reliable enterprise data protection."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"I would like to see integration with Copy Data Management, which is an IBM product. Right now, these two products are siloed, so if these two become integrated, the product would become a bit of a powerhouse."
"The main admin console from the UI cannot do anything in the product. It just allows us to maintain, maybe, 30% to 40%. For the rest, we have to use the command line."
"It needs better connectivity with other non-IBM application hardware and non-IBM platforms."
"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."
"This product comes up against other products available that are marketed better but the other products that it's in competition with are a single product and this is one of IBM products. If it could be marketed as more for competitors I think that's where it comes short."
"They need to reduce the complexity and make the learning curve easier."
"There were scalability issues only in the brand new features which were recently released."
"Integration with some applications in the healthcare field could be added, as that is a big part of our business."
