"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."
"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 ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"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."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"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."
"Nakivo is an easy-to-use, robust and cost-effective backup solution. I highly recommend it."
"With Nakivo, I have the peace of mind that all of my production environment is safely backed up and can be restored safely, easily, and quickly with a few clicks."
"The price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
"We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."
"Backups are working smoothly with Nakivo Backup."
"The product is easy to manage for any IT person who is new to backup, recovery, and replication."
"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs."
"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"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."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"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."
"In the future, the solution should provide a more granular backup."
"They need to add a failover feature to the Essential Pro license in case the environment is a simple virtual environment and the client does not need to upgrade."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"Automatic updates do not work, and every update has to be done manually."
"From an administrator usage perspective, the interface is very intuitive, but maybe the wizard for creating and modifying backup jobs could look a little fancier."
"It would be helpful to be able to have a custom footprint so that only the required features are installed."
"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."
"Sometimes, for some VMs and some Windows Server versions, specifically old versions (aka server 12 or older) fail due to the VSS writer error or locking file system."
