Pros
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent.""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.""We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost.""Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication.""The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent.""The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily.""The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it.""The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."

Cons
"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.""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.""Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on.""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.""Stability."

"When starting up the replication and converting it to the virtual machine I had some problems. I had to start the process again and that is inconvenient.""It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution.""The automation should be simplified or improved.""The improvements should be as per customer requirements.""VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery could improve by enhancing the network bandwidth from the storage."
