"We have a very good team of administrators who know the product perfectly and are able to manage it on a day-to-day basis."
"Data archiving is easier and less time-consuming."
"The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."
"There have been scalability issues. The core product does not support scale out. We needed to create a new system and manage resources separate from the existing one."
"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."
"It needs BMR (bare machine recovery) solutions for both Windows and Linux systems."
"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."
"I need two separate solutions for virtual and physical systems. I need IBM Spectrum Protect Plus for virtual systems and Spectrum Protect for physical systems and that's a pain. It would be an improvement if they were combined."
"The licensing isn't very clear. They should work to simply or clarify the cost structure."
"The most important feature which I wish to be added involves the GUI, the user interface."
"Generally, the implementation of virtualization could be improved. The workflow service and so on are not working properly."
"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
