Good deduplication, easy to scale, and has good support
iland Secure Cloud Backup is very scalable. If you ask them for more space, they provide you with the pricing, and they make the adjustments on their end. We just recently went from 10 TB to 15 TB and they also do a great job of deduplication, because we were only using 10 TB, even though our SAN is 20TB, we were using 11 TB of it and we have some physical servers that were we are backing up.

"The service itself wasn't bad."
"We have not identified any issues with this solution and we are very happy with it."
"Their technical support is very good; I have contacted them a couple of times and I have never had a bad experience with them, and they are one of the better companies as far as their support."
"iland is excellent as far as the interface."
"DR time has been massively reduced."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"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 CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"This product is not expensive, does the job what I bought it for, and is not time consuming."
"No other product offers these features for this price."
"The initial setup was very straightforward, as the software installs easily, is very easy to configure and has a nice GUI."
"Ability to restore to any host."
 

Cons

"They don't support a more current version of VMware."
"The vendor needs to changes billing to work like every other business and stop charging people if they stop using your service."
"This product did not help our organization."
"I would like to see a better method of backing up Exchange in the cloud."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"We use Linux guests on Hyper-V clusters and we really need the file level restore on these VMs (ext3 and 4 file systems) functionality."
"It would be good to if they would expand the functionality to be able to backup normal servers without Hyper-V."
"The only issue at the moment is a lack of throttling."
"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."
"I need to be able to restore emails to Exchange Live not just to a PST. This is a major drawback as I want to be able to restore individual items or mailboxes directly into my live Exchange databases so the user can see the email right away."
