There is a lack of comprehensive step-by-step documentation for recovery scenarios.

The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want.

More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios.

Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud.

It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory.
