It is a software solution, which means you can buy your own hardware and expand it whenever you want. You are not boxed in or locked into something you've bought and outgrown. You can always expand it."

"A lot of my customers always ask for legal holds, especially on email."
"There have been some sizing issues now, and we are dealing with those."
"Easier configuration of some of the products, e.g., VE comes to mind."
"The solution should improve the ability to monitor backup failure."
"The administration interface should implement more functionalities that exist only in the command line and needs improvement in how some reports are created."
"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery."
"Their restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."
