The solution should be more consistent with its patching updates.

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

"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."

Cons

"I think the solution itself keeps up with everything else. Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate."

"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."

"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."

"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."

"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."

"Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup could be improved in several areas, such as enhancing scalability features and possibly reducing the price."

"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."

"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
