The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data.
IBM ProtectTIER is noted for high stability even in extreme conditions, robust command-line interface, and ease of use. It excels in cataloging and efficiently handles millions of frames for backups, saving time with incremental backups. However, configuration wizards and setting up with legacy equipment can be complex, and backups for large amounts of data are slow. IBM ProtectTIER could improve in user-friendliness and easier configuration management.
