"This solution is stable."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"Scalability: Our customers are able to grow the product without having to buy additional hardware, so it is very scalable."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is its ability to verify the recoverability of backups."
"One way they have improved our organization is through the stability of the solution and the availability of the product."
"In general, the solution is quite user-friendly. The GUI is very nice."
"Since the technology is reliable, it simplifies the backup process significantly. Now, our focus can primarily be on managing full backups and creating some offline copies."
"The file-restoring feature is the most valuable."
"Its incremental forever approach is valuable, so we don't have to load tapes to do a restore."
"Data archiving is easier and less time-consuming."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"I would like to see more technical training online. Sometimes, it is a little bit difficult to find, or that I do not really know what I am looking for as somebody who is starting off finding their learning curve."
"They can include more cloud-enriching features. I would like IBM Spectrum Protect to have the functionality for backing up a VM directly in Azure. I would like to be able to back up a VM directly in Azure without spinning up a Hyper-V cluster and backing up the virtual server."
"We recently had a situation where we quickly got code, and the number of tapes exceeded the library capacity so we were waiting a while to change. We got a fix for this right away."
"Ease of use."
"Perhaps if they could add replication to a second site or third site from the same console, that would be helpful. Currently, we have to connect to another console."
"In terms of features, they've got it all covered. The features they have are quite good. The only downside to it is that it is for an enterprise or big organization. In my opinion, it is not for a small business."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"I am looking forward to new features in the next release. One of the main features is the cloud storage integration, which was one of my main required features. I've had more difficult experiences with other platforms than with this one."
