The great features are
It provides us with a better backup and restore solution for our Hyper-V environment.
It would be good to if they would expand the functionality to be able to backup normal servers without Hyper-V.
I've used it for around two years.
No issues encountered.
In the beginning there were issues, but that was related to the storage network.
No issues encountered.
It's great, the support is good and very fast in providing responses to queries.
Technical Support:it's excellent.
We previously used Data Protection Manager (DPM), but it lacked the ability to backup Linux VM's without going into saved state so we switched.
The setup is very easy.
I did it myself in-house.
The original setup took me around a day during normal production hours, so no extra costs in terms of overtime etc. Day-to-day costs are really low as there is not much work needed as long as it runs. You just have to review the daily report and add a VM if needed.
We previously used DPM then went straight onto Altaro.
Give it a try as it's very easy to setup and works like charm. Also, the pricing model is very good.
