"The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data."
"The command-line interface is good."
"In terms of stability, I've found it to be very stable. I've walked into the server room when it was at 60 degrees Celcius, and it was still running fine."
"The solution is highly stable."
"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"It has a streamlined user interface, provides an improved tech support experience, and reduces time required to locate and restore data."

"The solution's technical support team is very responsive and proactive."
"The solution is stable."
"Intelligent agent technology."
"I don't know if it is the best or the worst but it's very easy to install and very easy to balance. Sometimes that it's a problem because the installer of these data gets extremely scared because it's so easy. The product is easy to install, easy to balance, and easy to work with. Another really good point is the instant recovery."
"It works with VMware and Hyper-V without agent installation."
"Setting up the system to work with legacy equipment is a bit complex at times."
"The backup for a large amount of data is slow."

"IBM ProtectTIER could improve by being more user-friendly."
"Two areas I would like to see improvement in Rubrik are pricing and localization."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
"I want to see more features regarding filtering in the Snapshot Window, as I need to be able to set a filter for specific dates and times. If I want to check an old backup, I must scroll through one or two years of backups to find what I'm looking for."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
