"The standout feature is its connectivity and robust support. They are easily easy to get hold of, making it convenient for us."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."

"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
"It could be better integrated with other platforms."
"The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk."
