Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery.""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.""The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily.""The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency.""VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features.""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.""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 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."

"Efficiency of data management (Tier-X tiering, and NoDup inline dedupliclation and compression) provide for quick response time (+150k IOPS) during regular usage.""It has improved our backup and recovery window, because you can have two Reduxio machines linked up, so every block that changes on the primary storage array gets replicated to the secondary storage array. If one side or the other goes bad, you just recover from the other side.""The pre-processing dedupe engine they have instead of post-processing.""Enables multiple hosts access to the virtual machines by providing for moving VMs due to maintenance or host failure.""One of the beautiful parts about it is the whole user interface. It's almost too simple. As an IT professional, you think, "Where are the works, how am I assured that this is actually protecting my data?" The ease of use in terms of deployment, and also the metrics that it feeds back to you are also among the many attractive features of the whole platform.""The ability to target existing remote storage with NoRestore is going to allow us to leverage existing storage without an increased financial investment.""The always-on deduplication and compression is also effective and allows us to achieve about 3x savings on space utilization.""We can offer a lot more storage to our end users.​"

Cons
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful.""Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran.""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.""It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location.""The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself.""Stability.""To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time.""Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."

"Scalability is a little unusual. We came from the NetApp world where, if you needed more disk space, you just added more drives into the chassis, whereas with Reduxio, if you need more disk space, you have to buy a new chassis.""Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market.""We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable.""I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target.""I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall.""The ability to look at data at a file level would be useful, as well as the ability recover at that level. Right now, you can only recover whole volumes.""They're trying to do this, but they need to show more what their growth plan is, the development, what the next steps are, the future.""There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
