"Spectrum Computing's best features are its speed, robustness, and data processing and analysis."
"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is the policy driving resource management, to optimize the computing across data centers."
"We are satisfied with the technical support, we have no issues."
"This solution is working for both VTL and tape."
"The backup and recovery times are very quick."
"I am impressed with the tool's easiness to work with VMware solutions."
"Technical support is helpful."
"It's 100% stable, it's always stable. We haven't had any bugs. The solution works very well and we haven't had any problems."
"The DRS feature from VMware is very valuable to us because it balances workloads."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is availability."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The open, flexible architecture has brought in the agile computing environment along with better Dr capabilities. Automation management and operational tasks across VMware and third-party applications, like our HMIS and other business productivity applications, have delivered peace of mind."
"SMB storage and HPC is not compatible and it should be supported by IBM Spectrum Computing."
"This solution is no longer managing tapes correctly."
"Lack of sufficient documentation, particularly in Spanish."
"We have not been able to use deduplication."
"Spectrum Computing is lagging behind other products, most likely because it hasn't been shifted to the cloud."
"We'd like to see some AI model training for machine learning."
"As we work towards more stability on the solution, sometimes we'll try something and it breaks and it's easier to restart the service. That's the only drawback. We've experienced this with other applications as well."
"I would like to have an interface that can manage both on-premises and cloud solutions from a single console, where we can easily manage the resources that are being used or at least applications. Whereby clicking here and there from on-premises to cloud, or cloud to on-premises, depending on the requirements. If that can be accomplished, it will be extremely beneficial."
"A feature to review and setup tasks should be added."
"We encounter challenges related to the renewal of support subscriptions."
"I did not do the initial setup. However, it was complex at the beginning."
"vCenter Orchestrator's debugging capacity could be improved."
"The custom workflows are very difficult and confusing."
"Its technical support team takes a long time to escalate the issues."
