"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
