"It's very competitive in terms of the price and technology. Also, the development team continuously makes updates. The data reduction feature is very useful."

"The deduplication feature is the most valuable part of the solution."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."

"EMC is very expensive for small customers."
"The software from Dell that can be used to operate Data Domain needs to have enhancements made to the user interface. It is too complex."

"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"They're scalable."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"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."
"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."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"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."
"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
