"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 policy-based backup feature is very helpful."

"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Stability."
"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."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."

"The monitoring could be a bit better."
"Sometimes, the user interface doesn't work smoothly."
"I would like to see support for databases such as MySQL and MongoDB."
"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."
