We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily.""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.""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 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.""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 product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery.""Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication.""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."

"You can back up the whole image.""Offers good recovery quickly.""With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements.""The installation was straightforward.""The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent.""It has a user-friendly interface.""The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion.""The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."

Cons
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful.""The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement.""Stability.""Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup.""Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran.""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.""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 needs an easier interface.""The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable.""Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement.""The reliability is sometimes lacking.""We faced issues with recovery and restoration.""Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement.""Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
