"Its management can be improved."
"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."

"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
