"They are behind on many things, especially security. They are catching up a little bit now, but the competitors are doing better security-wise. There should be malware detection and prevention and higher security."
"The solution should improve the ability to monitor backup failure."
"It doesn't integrate with storage pools, with a normal pool. I'd like to see that."
"We are not so happy with the technical support because dealing with them is not easy. We have a very complicated environment, therefore I understand for a support person that it is not easy to troubleshoot it."
"The solution is evolving, so it has to be evolved to fit all new types of software requirements too."
"The solution should have better integration with VMware and with IBM Spectrum Protect Plus."
"There could be various client systems and process integration included in the product."
