Preconfigured containers have cut licensing costs and now save our team time with faster booting
ECS-Optimized Windows can improve by giving us new generation instances rather than the old generation's AMD chips or other older technology. It should use the new generation instances, and it should also modernize the storage and the file systems that it is using because those are very old and sometimes problematic. It should also improve or add advanced configurations to the things that we are doing so it can help us and give us more efficiency and productivity in our team. It should give us good analysis, particularly more detailed analysis, with the AWS tools because it is operated by AWS. It is cloud-based, and we are getting it from AWS, so they should also integrate it with AWS better.

Centralized email and file backups have protected long-term data and simplify user recoveries
I think Veritas Alta Recovery Vault can be improved by changing their license model and being more flexible. Currently, they are charging us for the size of the backup storage, while some other solutions claim to have unlimited backup storage. The pricing is increasing heavily. Since it is an enterprise solution, it is okay that it should be expensive, but they need to enhance their license model because they are selling only for a minimum of 1,000 Office 365 users. For a small environment, this is not applicable. Additionally, they are providing only 2TB per user, so I need to purchase extra storage since the default storage that comes with the normal user license is not enough. They need to enhance their pricing and licensing model. The issue I face with Veritas Alta Recovery Vault is that if I need to move from their service to other solutions, there is no clear idea about the grace period to migrate the backup data to another solution, and it relies only on the user. This is also one more concern; if I want to go with them and buy their solution, I need to be careful because it feels like a one-way ticket.
