Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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 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."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"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."
"This solution is stable."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"I've had no problems with the stability of this solution."
"We've found the product to be quite stable and the performance is very good."
"The scheduled backups ensure we meet the requirements for our business, and we keep backups of certain environments."
"It protects our data. That is what it is there for."
"It provides our customers with the comfort of having reliable enterprise data protection."
"The most valuable features of Spectrum Protect would be the compression and the deduplication."
"The most valuable features are compression and de-duplication."
"Space efficient data reduction, using progressive incremental forever in combination with deduplication and compression."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"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."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Stability."
"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."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"They took some of the funding off of it for a while. Therefore, instead of being a market leader, they took their position for granted. Then some competitors developed new bells and whistles that they advertise, and due to that lag a few years ago, there are not the resources to explain the differences."
"The solution's initial setup process wasn't easy...The solution is overly complicated in terms of architecture, especially compared to other tools in the market."
"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."
"Perhaps some better documentation, which I believe was better in the past."
"I need to have more than two instances working together. I need a worldwide grid able to have replication between three, four, or five instances."
"I would like to see the operations center be a lot more functional. It was nowhere near as functional as the admin center, and I'm doing a lot of command line with it."
"They should introduce more features for virtualization platforms and backing up IBMs. Backup speeds should also be improved."
"They do not have a unified GUI, they only work on CLI and operations center, which is really complicated for the installation and configuration."
