Easy to use, manage and deploy
There are a lot of problems when you recover a tape. Like, if the website actually went down, there would be some problems recovering the tape. When it comes to the tape recovery, it's just a hassle. It's just that some data might be lost, and some accounts here and there might be lost. So, the whole operation when it comes to the covering of the tapes is quite a hard one.

Unified control plane has simplified hybrid data management and has automated workflow orchestration
In terms of areas where NetApp BlueXP can be improved, I focus on privacy and governance. What I mean by this is that personally sensitive information in the interface needs to be encrypted, which is called privacy. As per the governance policy, that is for data security governance policy, it also needs to have a specific policy on how this data has been categorized. If I had the opportunity to add a feature or function to NetApp BlueXP, I would ensure that privacy and governance are taken care of properly.
