"The support from IBM is very good."
"The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team."
"We used to use the solution with tapes a few years ago. We've switched to discs, and it has gotten much faster."
"Some of the features we find very valuable and use a lot, are retention sets."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"Veeam replication gives migration tools/options for VMware."

"The standout feature for us is instant recovery."
