"It's simple to set up."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used in many different kinds of systems."

"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"The initial setup was complex."
"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."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."

"The solution could improve by providing more integration and security."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
"I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine."
