"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."

"More statistic options would be a great feature."
"The backup speed needs improvement."
"It would be good if I could have a remote upgrade of our Synology Transporters, but the manual upgrade is easy and no problem at all."

"It could provide better ease of management than one of its competitors."
