"The most valuable feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its ease of use. Additionally, it does backups of all of the things we need, such as OS, files, and databases."
"If the system were to go down, we needed to make sure that the system could be recovered and available as soon as possible. Spectrum Protect provides you access to directly bind the backup volume to the server and make the system available instead of restoring it and copying the system."
"We used to use the solution with tapes a few years ago. We've switched to discs, and it has gotten much faster."
"Virtual snapshots that offer incremental backups."
"The initial setup of IBM Protect Plus is simple and not complex."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team."

"Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself."
"The tool needs to increase the number of threats."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve security."
"I would like to see continuous data protection (CDP). If there is machine failure, you don't have to go to the backup copy that you took 12 hours ago. You can actually go back to the backup copy made half an hour ago. That is, it would be good to have certain-point-in-time recovery."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve the IBM Spectrum Protect environment. It can be difficult to administer. The initial configuration can be difficult for entry-level teams or deployment teams, and it might be difficult to integrate. There's just too much content involved in the solution. The documentation is way too large."
"You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively."
"The backup support for IBM Power Virtualization needs to be added."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
