"Ability to restore to any host."
"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."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"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."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"The backup on real-time, especially for the virtual machine, archiving, and retrieving the reader from the backup repository and getting it online, getting it validated, then performing the data consistency check over the backup."
"We've found the product to be quite stable and the performance is very good."
"For initial setup, we started with the blueprints, which were great. The blueprints allowed us to be able to decide if we needed to use small, medium,k or large. Because we are a large environment, we used a large blueprint. Once we followed everything in the blueprint, it was a smooth transition from there."
"The amount of data that it protects with very little storage by doing incremental forever is one of its most valuable features."
"It is very stable. A plus is to use POWERAge for the SNR copy of the Spectrum Protect, then it is more reliable."
"Everyone wants a full backup. It gives them safety and peace of mind, like an insurance policy for that rainy day when they may need to restore a system."
"Every time customers make a change or we have made a change, then they use the product to do a cloning and refreshing. They are happy that they get good performance something changes."
"Nothing beats this solution for file backup."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Stability."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"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."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"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."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"No one can fix every solution for backup and restore."
"We have had some problems about using storage agents on the X6 environment. It is not quite stable, but it is also not supported in a virtualized environment."
"It might be seen as leaning towards the legacy side, missing some features of newer solutions. The main drawbacks would be its complexity and high pricing."
"The GUI has long been a problem for TSM/Spectrum Protect."
"The software is complex; setup is complex."
"Most customers still struggle with the reporting piece, especially generating reports. I think it needs some improvements in this area."
"The administration interface should implement more functionalities that exist only in the command line and needs improvement in how some reports are created."
"The product should be improved to save more space."
