"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."
"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."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."

"DD doesn't have Intel's air gap technology."
"The price of the product is high."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"Stability."
"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."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
