Before we installed Altaro, we had constant problems with our backups. We were using an older platform and needed a change badly. Since we moved to Altaro VM backup, we have not had any issues with our backups. Everything just works.

All our backups can now be stored in more than one location, due to the ease that Altaro provides in setting up offsite backup storage. You can also add other types of storage if you need them.

I find that the Altaro backup software is just about as easy as it gets to protect your VMs.

The Altaro software helps us develop backups successfully and quickly. The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues.

We have had many issues in the past with software not being user-friendly or having a bad restore causing us to restart from scratch. Altaro prevents the monthly maintenance of having to check backups to confirm they are not faulty. The worst feeling is plugging in a restore and having no backup to restore because its corrupted. Here, with Altaro, we don't have that issue.

Altaro offers two VMs at no cost. This has helped us to eliminate the implementation of expensive backup solutions at remote offices, which had two instances. The free version is in no way inferior to the paid version and had all the features of expensive backup solutions, including secure encryption. From installation to backup and recovery, it is very simple with a user-friendly user interface (UI).

Accelerated our physical to virtual conversion. It gave us the reliability the business demanded, without investing in expensive software and upgrading the network/storage back end. Allowed application isolation that drastically improved RTOs and RPOs. And enabled our IT staff to easily manage all our virtual backups and restoration with little to no training.
