Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Ability to restore to any host.""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.""The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery.""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.""It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent.""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.""Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication.""VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."

Cons
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful.""Stability.""The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself.""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.""Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran.""Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage.""Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup Cons →

"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
