"Backup/archive to multiple locations."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."

"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
"There is a lack of native (web-based) update functionality."

"No appliance update notifications."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
