"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"The most valuable feature of Altaro VM Backup is its ability to backup and restore various types of data, including Active Directory, application servers, and SQL Server databases."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."
"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines."
"If you have a lot of central sites and remote sites, you can easily set up the replication and make it easier."
"It's fairly easy to manage and set up."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its back up and recovery. It is a simplified backup because you can do both databases - VM and HyperV. It's a faster backup than the conventional methods because it takes up the bare metal."
"The initial setup was not overly complex."
"The fast backup and restore feature is the most valuable."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators."
"Replication Job base on a source HPE Catalyst store to perform a full reconstruction of our production systems on our third datacenter, which is our DRP Site."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Stability."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time."
"They can improve the features and Veeam Enterprise Manager. The interface and features are kind of limited. It would be good if they can provide more features and a better interface. For example, if I want to provide certain users with the privilege to back up and restore and do day-to-day tasks, I cannot do it in the current version. It is like you either give everything to everyone or no user can have access to anything. In version 9, a lot of features were missing, and it wasn't clear. Version 10 is easier from the communication perspective, and the disk backup option is very clear."
"I would prefer it if the backup console did not require use of a specified program but rather that it could be opened from any website."
"I cannot recall coming across any features that were lacking."
"I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories."
"I have used NetBackup. For heavy workloads or if I need consistent backup and restore, I prefer NetBackup over Veeam Backup Replication."
"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."
"Offering mobile apps that give engineers a global view of his backup regime would be a "nice to have" feature."
