"It will be good if Acronis can provide more documentation and videos describing how to do different things. Their documentation is good, but it is without examples. They don't have lots of videos. They should put more videos on YouTube to show how to set up certain things, how to restore, and how to back up. They should provide step-by-step documentation and videos for specific scenarios. I would like them to improve the command line feature. The command line is not working smoothly, and there is some problem with it. If the command line is improved, it will take the product to the next level. It would be great if it can back up data from storage so that people are able to back up old data. Such a feature will make it an enterprise solution for a full backup."
"I don't see any room for improvement in the solution itself, but their marketing could be better. Dealers and customers aren't aware of this product or the company, so maybe they should concentrate more on marketing."
"It needs to be able to integrate with other emailing systems, like Linux."
"The pricing model is unnecessarily confusing and could be simplified."
"They don't have native integration with deduplication of storage."
"The customer service and support response time can be improved."

"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."
