"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"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 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."
"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 compression ratio of the backup data should be improved."
"The length of time it takes to restore is our main source of frustration. It would be beneficial to shorten the time it takes."
"I would like to have the option to increase the frequency of the backups. Azure Backup does backups on an hourly basis, but I would prefer it to take backups more often."
"My company faces a lot of difficulties in restoring any encrypted VM backup."
"Azure Backup is limited to certain workloads. It would be helpful if Microsoft focused on enabling backups for Oracle and other unsupported databases."
"The solution is quite technical. I wouldn't describe it as user friendly. It could be simplified a lot to make it more accessible to the average user."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"Lacks an AI system that would enable easier upgrading of the hardware."
"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."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"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."
"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."
"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."
