"The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."

"The product provides good backup and compression services."
"The most valuable feature is the inline data deduplication."

"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place.

"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"Installation and deployment for this product need improvement. These processes need to made easier. Currently, it's not an easy installation for customers. This product needs to be installed by professionals."
"I would like to see better integration and support for backing up to cloud providers such as Alibaba Cloud."
"The downside of PowerProtect's flexibility is that you have so many options. It can be a little confusing. It's like having a car with too many buttons on the dash. You can do so much with it, but it takes some time to learn what everything does."
"I would like to see some kind of integration with the ransomware in the next release."
"They need to make migration easier."
"Dell EMC Data Domain needs to have better compatibility between NetWorker and the hardware. NetWorker is not as good as the other products which are currently on the market like Backup Exec."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
