Cons
"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.""The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required.""Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability.""It could include more of a backup and recovery.""I conveyed the feedback to the agent, suggesting an increase in the agent count in our VNS in the USA.

"Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup.""Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't.""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 be able to recover the items to their original location.""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.""Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on.""The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
