"The web console could be a lot better."
"The user interface has to be improved"

"I would like to have them come up with more robust features when it comes to individual endpoint protection."

"The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."
"The SME that helped us with the implementation would probably have more insight because he used it way more than we have. We just use it for making sure that our backups are done daily, and the replications are being performed between sites. We haven't had any issues at all with it other than the fact that there is a slight process to acquire additional licenses if we want to expand our number of hosts. That's because it is based on the number of cores and threads that are used."
"There's a lot of room for improvement surrounding the backup process."
