Cons
"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility.""The initial setup is complex.""Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool.""Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself.""The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle.""Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment."

More Actifio Cons →

"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.""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.""The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself.""Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran.""It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location.""Stability.""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."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:Actifio was very stable. Whenever they identified bugs, they would promptly provide us with patches.
    Top Answer:I think licensing costs are reasonable but we have taxes here in Brazil that make hi-tech products more expensive.
    Top Answer:The area they could improve was when we were in Azure cloud, and Actifio got bought by Google, they stopped supporting us. So that's an area they could improve.
