"Takes me 80 percent less time to manage my backup environment."
"The solution’s ransomware recovery, from a security perspective, is one of the biggest features of the product. We don't have to worry about the operational complexity of air-gapped backups and can rely more on the immutability approach. It is a highly valued feature in this solution."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"The live mount reduces complexity."

"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"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."
"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."
"I hope to see enhancements in areas like data governance and the incorporation of new features in future updates."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"I would like a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time."
"If I could take a snapshot from a physical and be able to stand it up as a virtual immediately without the need to rebuild an entire system and restoring files, that would be HUGE."
"It needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"Rubrik needs to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
