"The solution integrates well with other tools."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."

"The support from IBM is very good."
"The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer."
"What I like about IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its integration, plus it has very good technical support."
"With this product, we now have a reliable backup solution."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"The system is able to determine when it is the best time to do backups. This is SLA-driven, and if it is not possible to maintain this SLA, the system will tell you too."
"The product's protection against ransomware is a significant benefit."
"Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary."
"Rubrik is cheap, and you get good performance."
"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik for me is its user-friendliness and efficiency."
"The web interface is user-friendly, clean, and it provides a good summary of what you're protecting at a glance."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
"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."
"The solution only supports HyperV and VMware but doesn't support Nutanix."
"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"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."
"It requires much more automation features."
"Instead of using the command prompt for troubleshooting and administering the backup, there should be an easy-to-use graphical user interface."
"The web interface could benefit from some improvement, particularly in terms of alerting and dashboard clarity. The cloud web interface is somewhat confusing and could use more development attention. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that local on-premise management options remain available alongside cloud-based solutions, as internet availability can affect backup management. Regarding features, cross-hypervisor restore functionality would be a valuable addition, allowing for greater flexibility in restoring VMs across different environments."
"With Windows, it is difficult to configure Oracle Database."
"The recovery of Oracle databases is too complicated. It is not something that helps the DBA, the Database Administrator, but it should be done by the backup person like many other solutions. Everything is ready for the DBA to recover the database. It is a way of doing things, but I don't think you should give the backup people the ability to do it."
"They need to find a solution for SMBs. It is currently only suitable for enterprises or big customers. They need to find a solution that suits SMBs."
"Initially, we encountered compatibility challenges with some of our technologies."
"The Office 365 protection could be improved."
"The licensing cost is quite high. That is something that needs to be worked out, because so many times it happens that the team does not have the budget or there are other issues at that time. Cost has become an important factor in deciding whether to continue with the Rubrik solution."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
