"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"It's not easy to scale it."
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"I really like the reporting options you get for various email reports."
"They have great support."
"When I have had to use tech support, they've been very good."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."

"Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing."
