Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."
"It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates."
"The scalability of the product is fine."
"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."
"Whenever you have a crash or your service is not working, you can just live-boot the machine and have your service up and running."
"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"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."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."
"This solution is stable."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"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."
"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 restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"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."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end."
"It is not always stable."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"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."
"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."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
