"The ability to use S3 Data Store as a repository.""It is very stable after deployment and will perform in a steady state.""The most valuable features of Spectrum Protect would be the compression and the deduplication.""Data reduction definitely reduces costs, not only software costs, but from the infrastructure needed.""The most valuable feature of this solution is the centralized enterprise backup.""The main thing is to keep the data safe and in files, keep it on tape ready for a request from a bank, and it is working perfectly with all our hardware.""With the new features that we have added, it has made a difference as far as faster recovery and speed.""The ability to do dedupe in the product is nice to have."

Cons
"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems.""I think the solution itself keeps up with everything else. Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate.""We need more options for the backup schedule.""The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."

"The solution must protect against ransomware attacks better.""RTO is a huge gap for us. If we had a disaster scenario and had to recover a bunch of stuff from tape, the RTO would be too long for us.""They do not have a unified GUI, they only work on CLI and operations center, which is really complicated for the installation and configuration.""The administration tools for GI need improvement, as the current assessment suggests shortcomings in the back-end system.""Its management part can be better and simplified. It is kind of a beast as compared to Commvault or Veeam, but they are more user-friendly. They are also easier to learn, whereas Spectrum Protect definitely takes time. They should simplify it. Our teams are pretty comfortable with it because we have been using it for a long time, but from the perspective of a new user who is evaluating or using this solution, it is definitely more complex in terms of manageability. Its monitoring could be improved so that it can even monitor the jobs that are scheduled by external schedulers. There are situations where a database team might decide to use their own schedulers, but currently, Spectrum Protect is not able to catch those jobs in the Operation Manager console.""The most important feature which I wish to be added involves the GUI, the user interface.""It would be helpful if the solution included some sort of ransomware protection.""It needs better connectivity with other non-IBM application hardware and non-IBM platforms."
