Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."
"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"The main feature we like about Barracuda is that we can map devices directly to the cloud. It operates as a security device to run a backup of the cloud in case one of our physical machines goes down."
"Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good."
"The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"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."
"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."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"I would like to see a way to increase space."
"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."
"I am working in some of the more rural areas of Sweden, and some of the customers here are a little bit wary of cloud technology at the moment. It is not like in Gothenburg or Stockholm, where people rely on it so much more. In the rural areas, companies are saying that we do need to use the cloud, and they are being very wary about their data, especially with GDPR and all that kind of stuff. Having more control and having an option for backing up locally, even if you don't want to use it, would be something very good. The cloud backup is brilliant, but there should be an option to take that cloud backup and save it locally as well. If you lose connection to the internet or you lose access to your data in the cloud, having a backup copy of the latest data on your server is helpful. You need to be able to get access to your customers' files, especially with GDPR, where you need to know where your customers' details are. If they're in the cloud and you've lost access to them, then you'll go into those GDPR regulations. This is somewhere where both Barracuda and Veeam haven't gone as far. As far as I have understood, with Veeam, you can back up your local servers to the cloud but not vice versa. I haven't worked on it much."
"It is not always stable."
"When we manage the box physically, we don't have as much control as we do when we manage from the cloud. The best management is from the cloud."
"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."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"Stability."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
