Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features.""The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily.""Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included.""The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery.""The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency.""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 ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent.""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."

Cons
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage.""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 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.""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.""To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time.""Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on.""The scalability of the solution is limited.""The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
