Pros
"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues.

"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great.""The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes.""The interface is very user-friendly.""If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails.""The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want.""The user interface is good.""It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us.""The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."

Cons
"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas.""The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."

"The stability of the solution is poor.""The storage capacity is very low.""There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency.""The initial setup is a little complex.""There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily.""The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement.""I would like to see the option of cloud-based management.""The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
