  • The detection of threats is very good since the data will not be damaged because the monitoring of the software is very attentive, so the errors are analyzed before something can be damaged.

Cons
IBM
  • Although it is a relatively simple software to use, it requires a bit of knowledge, which a new user cannot do without consolidating some previous knowledge.
  • The technical support team is not ideal; although, on many occasions we have not needed their help, the times we have interacted it has left us wanting more.

  • Trend Miro ServerProtect required to improve to mange the logs collected from storage devices as some time false positives comes in picture .
  • Pricing is based on per user Or Terabytes Storage, but in-case client wants users based say 50 users that should be competitive rather than multiply by per users ,their should be Slab pricing .

It might look complex in the beginning but once you get hold of it by going through all of the documentation then it seems to be very smooth. The configuration is comparatively easy and the user can understand it on their own without any external help. The overall learning curve is Ok.

There has been great support coming from IBM. It is easy to use and a great way to keep our data secure. I would recommend this to other possible users and if I were to move companies, I would recommend we use this there too. Thank you

My experience with support has not been great. They really had lots of prerequisite work and information gathering requirements before really getting involved. I have no problem doing needed work but I just felt a support person could do things more quickly and spare me so much challenge that was unnecessary. The website has good access to updates and knowledge base information but it was a bit limited in scope.
