More AWS Backup Pros →

"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.""The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery.""This solution is stable.""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 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.""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.""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."

Cons
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying.""One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups.""The notifications on the backup and on the mobile app could be more useful. If they could arrange notes or notifications properly and offer services for managing it in our region, it would be helpful for us.""The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved.""When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient.""They should work on their visual capabilities.""There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status.""It could be less expensive."

More AWS Backup Cons →

"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage.""The scalability of the solution is limited.""To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time.""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 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.""Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on.""Stability.""It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
