"The main feature of this product is a flexible architecture and functionality that allows you to solve problems of any complexity and scale. Most importantly, it is not just a product that simply makes a backup, but it restores and saves a large number of services in critical situations. By the way, it works fine with different types of clouds, supports S3."

"You can protect your data and keep it for long durations, without it spending too much time on the local disk."
"The most valuable features are the stability and also how it's seamlessly integrated with other IBM offerings."

"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."
"We're comfortable using this kind of technology. It's user-friendly."
"I think Spectrum Protect's interface is not so user-friendly, but the interface is not so friendly. Some of the functions are too complicated. I prefer a simpler solution."
"Ease of use. That has got to be the one thing that I routinely hear from clients and customers, that it's a little bit more difficult than it should be. What I'm finding is that IBM has heard that and they're responding with updated interfaces and things like that."
"In a future release, it would be a benefit to have the ability to add an application as a storage target, as a storage pool. Additionally, they should add more functionality to the administration for the Operation Center."

"We are still using TSM Manager for many of our projects to administer our platform because the gap was not resolved with the new Operations Center."

"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."

"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem.
