"It needs better connectivity with other non-IBM application hardware and non-IBM platforms.""A lot of my customers always ask for legal holds, especially on email.""Restoring massive files is a very time-consuming process.""This product should be more user-friendly for newcomers.""They took some of the funding off of it for a while.
