"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Better performance and lower costs."

The feature set is excellent. I recommend the solution."

It should have support features for data integration and data replication like Veeam. Right now, we are also using Veeam for certain scenarios."

"The high cost of the product is an area of concern, so from an improvement perspective, the tool needs to be made cheaper."
