• While this platform has been around, it does take some getting used. The interface could be refined. My Firefox Browser automatically closed when selecting some options and creating new objects as an example.
• The tutorials are a bit outdated in comparison to the screens shown. We understand the system is constantly improving. The tutorials should reflect the changes in the interface.
• There are many pre-trained models. However, it is not clear as to how those models were trained, what bias may exist in the training data, and how a user could improve those models unless we simply have to build our own.

• The used to send your backed up data overnight on a hard drive (if you needed it). Now, they only have an option to download. I love that you can download your data if you need it. That is great, but I would still love the option to ship an actual hard drive because in some cases there is too much data and downloading it all could take days.
• The UI could use an update/refresh.
• If you are not tech-savvy it's not super obvious how to set things up. It would be helpful for some it were simplified in some aspects.

• Prior to cloud storage, we used on-premises storage devices to store and backup, and sometimes it was a headache to scale up or down the storage according to our needs. With the introduction of Cloud Object Storage, we don't have to worry about scaling.
• The uptime is also improved a lot after the introduction of Cloud Object Storage in our organization
• Obviously, it's a very cost-effective way to store and archive data.

• iDrive has saved us time as we no longer have to manually back up and sync files on our computers to external drives.
• iDrive has lessened the burden of stress. We no longer worry that we may lose critical data that can no longer be recovered.
