"I feel that it is a good product."
"The GUI is user-friendly."
"Dell EMC NetWorker is scalable."
"If it's set up the right way, it's a stable product."
"The initial setup is simple."
"NetWorker has very good scalability."
"Technical support for this solution is very good."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is the deduplication functionality. The clients moved to this solution originally because of this feature."
"The initial setup of IBM Protect Plus is simple and not complex."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution offers a very straightforward deployment. You click, click, click and it's done. There's not much configuration to do."
"This is a multi-platform backup solution where you can take a backup from AIX, Windows, or Linux servers and restore from CD, disk, or tape."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The support from IBM is very good."
"This solution is very stable and has good support available online."
"The web console could be a lot better."
"I would like to see better support for the container systems, and we would like to see more support for image backups instead of pure file backups."
"I would like to see the user interface improved, more documentation, faster support, and it could be easier to configure."
"There are some limitations regarding scalability of the product."
"The end-user experience is not good."
"NetWorker sometimes has issues with the backup not starting and with connecting to the Oracle servers."
"Its console UI should be better. It should also have more out-of-the-box reporting functionalities. It should also have easier cloud integration. They have got cloud boost and things like that, but if you want to directly back up to the cloud, I'm not too sure whether you can do it. For example, you can easily send data from Commvault to AWS, Azure, or a container, but it seems to be not so easy in NetWorker."
"he API side of the solution has certain shortcomings."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"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."
"I think the graphical reports are a shortcoming of the tool since it fails to provide my company with what we want in terms of reporting. Due to the product's inability to take care of its reporting part, we have to use third-party software."
"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"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 by adding SAP Rena."
"It requires much more automation features."
"I would like integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores."
