Cons

"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."

"We need more options for the backup schedule."

"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."

"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."

"The tool needs to increase the number of threats."

"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."

"The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use."

"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve security."

"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."

"It still needs to grow and add new features. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, I believe, requires time to become competitive due to a weakness in the other software products."

"Instead of using the command prompt for troubleshooting and administering the backup, there should be an easy-to-use graphical user interface."

"Rooms for improvement in IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are installation and configuration because those were difficult. They should try their best to improve those areas. In the next release of the product, better implementation and administration are what we're expecting."
