"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."
"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"The pricing is fine."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"This solution is stable."
"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."
"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."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"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."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."
"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."
"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"Stability."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"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."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
