These features have significantly improved our recovery time objectives."

"The tool could benefit from further improvements in AI features, particularly in areas such as a generative AI chat interface. This feature could help answer queries about the data being protected. One feature that would greatly improve our experience with the product is the ability to identify data redundancies through a central console. This feature would help us reduce storage costs by managing redundant data."
"Non-cloud services need improvement."
"We are waiting on the AIX agent to be released."
"Hardware maintenance involves some downtime for backup destination storage which can be a problem for some."
"Agnostic backups."
"The setup phase is not so simple that an end user can plug and play to make it operational."

"The GUI and its user-friendliness have some room for improvement."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."
"The latency is a bit high."
