Technical support is quite responsive and helpful.

The installation was very easy. You just install an agent on a server, and you give that agent access to your storage device, then it just collects the data. It took five minutes to set up.

The benefits would be mostly the ability to diagnose a problem.

In my opinion, it's the best monitoring and report creation tool for IBM storage devices. You can do a lot of performance stats and reports with very nice tools for IBM storage devices.

The granularity of this solution has been most useful. Customers can click on a single item and get the information only for the single item they choose.

The pain points were, and may still continue to be, the fact that there are multiple components of the product which are installed, you might say, somewhat individually.

If we were to add VM level performance being able to monitor VMs on a VM level, then that would be good.

The initial setup for IBM Spectrum Control is a bit complicated. They should also make it easier to integrate and use the Cosmos Analytics tool, which is very complicated.

The database could be improved so that the complexity of installation could be easier. We would also like to have more granularity in the profiles and products for users. We would like to link the users to the tool to managers or auditors.
