"Some support replies for a broken backup task have been "rebuild the job from scratch" and this is a bad thing to do if you have many VMs and repositories."
"The DR component should be part of the comprehensive package, not separate."
"I would like to see the licensing model improved. They have recently changed the model and have made it more complicated."
"Lacks online training."
"The remote SQL server has had multiple sizing issues within the logs and SQL backup space and sharing with other database apps."
