"Data Domain lacks compatibility with fiber channels and tapes. We can't use it with a tape library. That's an issue in Latin America sometimes because a lot of clients still use tapes for budget reasons. Maybe they have a lot of archives. In North America and Europe, they do a lot of archiving, but they use the cloud more than we do. Sometimes we have to put together a Frankenstein where we connect another server to the tape library and send all the data there."

"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."

"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"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."
