Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature of Altaro VM Backup is its ability to backup and restore various types of data, including Active Directory, application servers, and SQL Server databases."
"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 initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"It is a very good and mature enterprise product. Once it is set up and everything is put in, you don't have to manage it. It actually runs automatically by itself."
"It is pretty easy to use and maintain."
"The deduplication and compression features are the most valuable features."
"The product is very stable."
"Reliability: It has never had a problem with backups or restores. If you store something, it is there."
"It is an IBM product. With SAP, you are using IBM software to protect it. DB2 and AIX servers are both IBM. Therefore, it is a total IBM solution, which helps."
"The ability to migrate between media over a long period of time. My customers are long-time users, and they have benefited from being able to move between tiers. They have been able to do this within the product."
"It's very robust and has been on the market for a long time."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"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."
"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."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"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."
"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."
"Getting technical support all the necessary diagnostic information is still very painful."
"We need everything cloud. Strong support for cloud services. S3 connectivity, which is mandatory for us in the future along with this integration of Spectrum Copy Data Management or Spectrum Protect services together with these Spectrum Protect Plus functionalities, e.g., hardware, snapshots, and Copy Data Management. They should come together in one solution."
"There is room for improvement in the service aspect."
"This solution does not have good support for virtualization and a hyper-converged environment."
"The most important feature which I wish to be added involves the GUI, the user interface."
"Replication of data could be more user friendly."
"The administration interface should implement more functionalities that exist only in the command line and needs improvement in how some reports are created."
