"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"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."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"Enterprise-wide type of architecture supports a lot of different platforms."
"With data deduplication and compression, we are reducing our overall storage footprint for our disk histories. Therefore, we are reducing the actual cost of the disk for our data protection and data backups."
"Forever incremental - allows TSM to optimize storage needs."
"Technical support is okay. We have not had many issues with them."
"The ability to use S3 Data Store as a repository."
"The most valuable features of the product are data deduplication and disaster recovery."
"Replication processes with container storage pools allow reduction of storage space and network bandwidth, using deduplication and compression."
"The backup is very good. In other backup systems, you need a lot of storage to gain the same backup policy."
"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."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Stability."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"Sometimes we experience trouble with the backup transfer of the control files."
"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."
"Integration with some applications in the healthcare field could be added, as that is a big part of our business."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"Our customers would like to see metadata replication, tearing to tape, and more cloud capabilities."
"We need better protection from ransomware or the ability to identify ways we can protect ourselves from ransomware. Having backups is one thing, but specifically, we need methods to recover if we have a ransomware attack."
"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."
"I want a better user interface, support, and integrations."
