"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"It's very easy to use the domain once it's been set up. The interface is also user-friendly."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"This is a user-friendly solution."
"It's easy to backup data, manage. A"
"The most valuable features for us are the ease of use, the reliability, and the exceptional deduplication that we get across that data that we store on those devices."
"It is a very scalable solution."
"It is very easy to implement."

"When it comes to upgrading, it always goes block-wise. One block is 48 TB raw capacity. It would be good if they can include a smaller capacity for SMB customers. Currently, it is not possible to increase in a smaller capacity. You have to buy the exact same unit. It would be great if they can provide a smaller next block. There are around 20 hard disks, and it would be really helpful if we can add 10 hard disks initially and 10 hard disks later."
"I would like to see an emphasis placed on making data deduplication and compression more powerful."
