"A robust, verifiable backup with a restore solution, which decreases our backup and has a restore window."

"The most valuable feature is ease of use."
"The most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect are SpanFS and the handling of hybrid workloads."

"Dell PowerProtect DD should come out with its own system so we do not have to use Data Domain. For example, something similar to what Symantec has done."

"They need to make migration easier."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
