"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency.""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.""All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me.""Ability to restore to any host.""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.""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 ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."

Cons
"They should eliminate the tape-out function from the solution."

More Dell CloudBoost Cons →

"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself.""Stability.""Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage.""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.""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 scalability of the solution is limited.""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.""The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
