"We have Oracle databases running on Linux servers in our environment and we have found the Oracle backups were quite complex to setup."
"The product is still young and is continually improving. There have been a couple of buggy releases in the software that have caused us minor issues, so possibly some better QA before releasing would prove to be useful. We have also been inquiring about new app and functionality via the Marketplace that was teased months back but has yet to come to fruition."
"You need to put the full name instead of a few letters while searching for backup. It should also improve customization."

"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
"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 software's technical support could improve its response time for different time zones."
"The security must be improved."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
"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."
