"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."

"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
"The pricing could be lower."

"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Stability."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
