"The solution is very good because it is easy to use and it speeds up the backup and lowers the requirement for the storage rate. It is capable of encryption, compression, and deduplication and it is fast for sending all of the data over the network because it sends only the change blocks from the client to the DD server."
"The most valuable features are the performance and the duplication."
"The backup aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use."
"The command-line interface is good."
"The cataloging is the best feature. It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete."

"The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data."
"The solution is highly stable."
"The solution must provide better deduplication."
"The solution could always be cheaper."
"Integration could be better."
"The solution needs a better gateway between the on-premises and cloud deployment models. We have to work around it or find a third party to assist."
"DD Boost's technical support could be better."
"The solution doesn't scale. If you hit your capacity, you need to buy a new device."
"This solution should cover more platforms, and there should be more product coverage."
"Some competitors may not allow the use of DD Boost with their data management systems. The application process is not determined at the source site but on the estimation side."
"The configuration wizards are still complex and hard to navigate. These should be easier to manage."
"IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly."
"The backup for a large amount of data is slow."
"Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times."
"I would like the possibility to back up the infrastructure and then replicate it upon on restart, without having to orchestrate the starting of the VM."
