More Datto ALTO Pros →

Cons
"The tool should improve synchronization.""The immutable backup could be better.""We need to be able to move the virtual servers and not build and then port them across. They need to improve the hypervisor.""One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately.""When it runs, it runs well but when it doesn't run, the solution needs to make it clearer as to why and what the troubleshooting process is. All this would be possible if the error logging was streamlined a bit.""It is for site-to-site replication. When something goes wrong on your site, you only get 15 minutes before it also goes wrong on your replicated site. There should be some way to be able to say that we want to restore it, but we want to restore it to the version from yesterday. It should support versioning. I would also like to see real-time scanning for advanced threat protection, more straightforward billing, and quicker turnaround on the tech support.""The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved.""I conveyed the feedback to the agent, suggesting an increase in the agent count in our VNS in the USA. I also addressed notification concerns, as some issues didn't trigger alerts during a recent call."

"The process of restoring VMs to the appliance could be more efficient.""Technical support was superior when it was owned independently."
