Resilience minimizes data loss, while enhanced operational efficiency boosts performance across sites and clouds. However, daily management is necessary due to potential component restarts. Security and encryption are outdated, setup was complicated, and compatibility issues with Amazon S3 persist, particularly missing checksum support for backups.
