"I would like to see continuous data protection (CDP). If there is machine failure, you don't have to go to the backup copy that you took 12 hours ago. You can actually go back to the backup copy made half an hour ago. That is, it would be good to have certain-point-in-time recovery."

"The software's technical support could improve its response time for different time zones."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."

The documentation is way too large."

"Enhancing reporting across the board would be beneficial."
