Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"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 intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"This solution is stable."
"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."
"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 product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Stability."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
