More Actifio Cons →

"We would like to see an improvement in the functionality of the GUI.""Bacula needs a graphical user interface because, for administrators, the command-line interface is okay, but for the average user it is not very easy.""Easier setup and configuration, perhaps including a GUI, would be an improvement.""The initial setup could be a bit easier.""We are looking for a unique interface that can rule both enterprise and open source editions.
