More Iron Mountain Connect Cons →

They have not upgraded their features and functionalities which makes it difficult for them to remain competitive.""The technical support was very slow.""The technical support is poor and should be improved.""The scheduler setup could be better. We are facing some issues scheduling the job based on our requirements.""Micro Focus are improving Data Protector with every new version and since we began undergoing training with the latest version we have not faced any real challenges yet.
