"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The backup of Sybase databases is the most valuable feature in the existing environment. They have got the most documentation out there on the internet for its software protection. The documentation is excellent, and there are a lot of blogs, websites. Because it's still one of the oldest products out there for data protection, there are also lots of people who have a lot of experience in using this solution."
"Good user interface."
"Every time customers make a change or we have made a change, then they use the product to do a cloning and refreshing. They are happy that they get good performance something changes."
"The most valuable features of the product are data deduplication and disaster recovery."
"The software-defined ability to do data reduction through deduplication and compression, as well as being able to replicate data to a cloud container."
"I have found that the most valuable feature is useful documentation and troubleshooting."
"It is a very good and mature enterprise product. Once it is set up and everything is put in, you don't have to manage it. It actually runs automatically by itself."
"The solution is not complex, it's very easy to configure agents or VM backup and restore. Upgrades from one version to another are very fast and the product is very stable."
"The management could be a bit better."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The user interface (UI) for the admin is still not good. It is way too complicated to manage the product, as we still need to use command line. IBM launched the Operations Center (OC), but there are still functions lacking, especially since we cannot manage all our scheduled tasks by using the GUI."
"We are having a balance issue between the reclamation and the backup function. It has to take the space back from the tapes before it can record to those tapes, but sometimes those two processes are overlapping."
"We need better protection from ransomware or the ability to identify ways we can protect ourselves from ransomware. Having backups is one thing, but specifically, we need methods to recover if we have a ransomware attack."
"Stability is very good now. It used to be rocky years ago."
"The features should be a little bit closer together."
"It doesn't integrate with storage pools, with a normal pool. I'd like to see that."
"Replication of data could be more user friendly."
"It needs BMR (bare machine recovery) solutions for both Windows and Linux systems."
