"Good starting capacity and scalability."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"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."
"This solution is stable."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"The licensing model was the biggest concern for our company, but the poor support after the initial implementation is of equal concern."
"The price could be improved."
"Its management can be improved."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"The price could be a little cheaper than it is now."
"DD Boost."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"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 be able to recover the items to their original location."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"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."
"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."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
