Cons

"The security model can be improved as it is a bit confusing."
"It could maybe use more integration."
"We would like some improvement in the cost of storage via this solution, as it currently has a very high price point."
"The free web and DB hosting could be improved. It could be faster when you download huge files from the S3 bucket to your local system. If the S3 bucket availability and performance could be improved, we would consider hosting our database over there."
"Amazon S3 could improve the limitation on how much data can be stored."
"The only pain point is migrating the life cycle policy because if someone is a newbie, they cannot easily create the life cycle policy."

"We cannot use the product with other brands."
"Deployment is overly complex and could be streamlined."
"It's already fast, but still, they could improve the speed."
"The solution needs to add an archive function."

"We encounter issues while restoring differential and cumulative backups."
"The product can protect from external data penetration, but the in-house IT team can access it."
"The product's technical support services need improvement in terms of response time."
