The clients moved to this solution originally because of this feature."

"The solution's stability is high because it is derived from Spectrum Protect."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that the product works and helps with restoration areas whenever there is a need to restore something."

"The solution integrates well with other tools."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with Oracle."
"The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team."
"The user interface is good."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"The interface is very user-friendly."

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

"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."
"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."
"The software's technical support could improve its response time for different time zones."
"It requires much more automation features."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
