"The solution easily integrates with the backup targets, such as Veeam."
"Technical support should be more knowledgeable."
"The performance takes up a lot of resources, unfortunately."

"The one place where we are sometimes losing the opportunity with ExaGrid is that a few customers still require a fiber channel connectivity, which is not always possible."
"When speaking about a scale-out, you want to have better equipment. You cannot just add a disc to the foreign equipment. You have to buy another one and put it together, like parallel."
