Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily.""The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent.""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.""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.""Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication.""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.""VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."

"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great.""The interface is very user-friendly.""If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails.""It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us.""The user interface is good.""The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration.""The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes.""Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."

Cons
"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.""Stability.""To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time.""Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran.""Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on.""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.""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.""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."

"The storage capacity is very low.""I would like to see the option of cloud-based management.""In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault.""There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily.""There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency.""The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find.""The stability of the solution is poor.""The initial setup is a little complex."
