"A more user-friendly interface (GUI) can be developed."
"We would like to see an improvement in the functionality of the GUI."

"The initial setup could be a bit easier."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"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."
