"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."
"It allows us to have one interface."
"Traditional archiving. One of our revenue streams involves maintaining archives of our customers' data for very long periods of time."
"Because of the flexible parameters, everything can be fine-tuned to the customers’ needs in their environment."
"With the new features that we have added, it has made a difference as far as faster recovery and speed."
"The most valuable feature for data recovery in IBM Spectrum Protect is its database protection capabilities."
"It helps our customers protect their data, especially with stuff like ransomware, compliance, and regulatory requirements."
"In general, the solution is quite user-friendly. The GUI is very nice."
"I find the whole product useful. The backup archive client, snapshot, spectrum for virtual environments are beneficial features."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"The solution's network setup and a lot of the control tower setup could be improved."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"The solution is evolving, so it has to be evolved to fit all new types of software requirements too."
"It does what we need it to do, but it could be better with VM backups. It could be better integrated with virtual machines or VM backups, but that's why they have their Plus out now. Plus version is more geared toward VM backups. The regular version is more for endpoint clients."
"The usability of IBM Spectrum Protect could be improved, specifically additional features to the product in the operations center. Additional reporting facilities and stronger reporting tools such as build dashboards would be beneficial."
"The GUI has long been a problem for TSM/Spectrum Protect."
"It can be improved for large file systems with many files. Spectrum Protect can restore large files very well, but if you're restoring millions of little files, it is not as great. At one point, we tried to implement the VMware module with it, and it was awful and terrible. I don't know if that has improved. If it hasn't, this would be one big improvement."
"I need two separate solutions for virtual and physical systems. I need IBM Spectrum Protect Plus for virtual systems and Spectrum Protect for physical systems and that's a pain. It would be an improvement if they were combined."
"I would like to see integration with Copy Data Management, which is an IBM product. Right now, these two products are siloed, so if these two become integrated, the product would become a bit of a powerhouse."
"Ease of use."
