The process for version upgrades, which sometimes requires deploying a new instance, could be streamlined to allow for a more seamless in-place update.

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.

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.
