"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"The solution is mostly stable."
"The amount of data that it protects with very little storage by doing incremental forever is one of its most valuable features."
"The feature we have found most valuable is when you want to integrate it with a Tape Library and then do the DRM life cycle. That is when it works the best."
"The most valuable features are the stability and also how it's seamlessly integrated with other IBM offerings."
"Scalability is pretty much unlimited."
"With the new features that we have added, it has made a difference as far as faster recovery and speed."
"The product helps us do data protection and restoration for disaster recovery (DR)."
"Every time customers make a change or we have made a change, then they use the product to do a cloning and refreshing. They are happy that they get good performance something changes."
"The initial setup was complex."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"I am looking forward to new features in the next release. One of the main features is the cloud storage integration, which was one of my main required features. I've had more difficult experiences with other platforms than with this one."
"There is room for improvement in the service aspect."
"The solution's initial setup process wasn't easy...The solution is overly complicated in terms of architecture, especially compared to other tools in the market."
"They are behind on many things, especially security. They are catching up a little bit now, but the competitors are doing better security-wise. There should be malware detection and prevention and higher security."
"Perhaps some better documentation, which I believe was better in the past."
"Replication of data could be more user friendly."
"It doesn't integrate with storage pools, with a normal pool. I'd like to see that."
"They should introduce more features for virtualization platforms and backing up IBMs. Backup speeds should also be improved."
