"Our clients like the wide range of features that are available within this single solution."

"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."
"Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is expensive. Also, it has a sort of a big physical footprint that data domains have, and that's part of the problem."
"The price could be improved."
"The downside of PowerProtect's flexibility is that you have so many options. It can be a little confusing. It's like having a car with too many buttons on the dash. You can do so much with it, but it takes some time to learn what everything does."
"We have some problems with backing up on the Power Platform. PowerServer is an IBM product, and it forces us to back up over LAN, which is not suitable for us."
"The licensing is not cost-effective, and the pricing could be better."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"The tool's DD Boost is expensive."
"They should reduce the CPC cost to customers. The product is becoming very expensive."

"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"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."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Stability."
"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 scalability of the solution is limited."
