"The tool has enough documentation; you don't need to contact the support team."
"The solution integrates well with other tools."
"With this product, we now have a reliable backup solution."
"The intelligent policies feature is used in order to protect the VMware infrastructure. One of the things that makes a big difference for our company is the usage of these intelligence policies. The system automatically provides extra protection for any VMware server application or service. From a backup administrator's point of view, this is what we call peace of mind. It reduces the workload and therefore reduces resources needed from the company."
"The product enables me to recover the information of the appliances in the organization."
"The most valuable feature is that the backup and restoring process is very fast."

"We can add multiple appliances to the product."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve security."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"I would like to see continuous data protection (CDP). If there is machine failure, you don't have to go to the backup copy that you took 12 hours ago. You can actually go back to the backup copy made half an hour ago. That is, it would be good to have certain-point-in-time recovery."
"Instead of using the command prompt for troubleshooting and administering the backup, there should be an easy-to-use graphical user interface."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"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."
"The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use."
"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."
"This solution has to have better integration with the cloud, as well as with other solutions such as Business Intelligence products."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration and security."
"They need to make the licensing more clear. They should give all of the licensing details for the portals and be more clear. I have accidentally purchased the incorrect license because it's not clear."
"Sometimes, the user interface doesn't work smoothly."
"NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower."
"It is not easy because I have worked a lot on the tool, and in case it gets corrupted at any point, it is not easy to restore the data without losing information is not easy."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
