"An area that needs improvement is data validation. We currently use another product that gives us immediate validation, information about when the last backup was, and no risk of corruption happening. TSM in IBM Spectrum is not mature so that you can validate on the spot."
"It requires much more automation features."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"I would like more integration with security. We need to show the value of the product in regards to handling security. For example, how it handles current malware or viruses. IBM should be more proactive in this direction."
"The one issue we are facing is related to file restores."
"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."
"Their first level of support can be improved. Often they are too junior to understand the issues we are having, and it takes too much time to get from them to the next level of support, which is what we actually need."
"It is not always easy to update this solution to the newer version, so the update process needs to be improved."
"The solution lacks instant recovery."
"They should improve the solution's automation features."
"There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure."
"Updating and configuration can sometimes be a little bit of a hassel, but once you know the product better it is easy to use."
"The predictability of the solution needs improvement. Sometimes, if it's doing something at the back end, it may go slow. Today, the backup completion took four hours, but sometimes it can do the backup in 30 minutes or an hour. With solutions like NetBackup, I can predict to a much higher degree of certainty how long something will take to complete."
"We can't use tape for primary storage on Veeam."
"I would like to see the capability for remote installation of third party applications added( Like installing WinRar MS Office etc..) , and Firewall for servers."
