Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features.""The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent.""The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups.""The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery.""Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included.""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."

"I could install and configure the trial version in maybe half an hour and had a successful backup of our file server on the same night.""The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations.""Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system.""Nakivo Backup and Replication's web-based management interface enables intuitive, rapid, and seamless configuration and management of all backup and recovery functionality across the enterprise.""The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort.""The backups, especially of the incremental type, are really quick (ranging from five to 10 to 45 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the VM).""Nakivo makes our backs-ups more reliable and easy to recover in case of full damage or partial retrieval of files - all at a convenient cost.""The backup and replication are great."

Cons
"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.""Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran.""It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location.""The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement.""To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time.""The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself.""Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on.""The scalability of the solution is limited."

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup Cons →

"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests.""It would be good to have some Oracle database backup capability from the Linux OS in the next release.""I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional.""The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage.""More statistic options would be a great feature.""It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time.""We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression.""The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes."
