"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"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."

"This solution is stable."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is a cheaper price and user-friendly."
"The speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."
"Backup jobs are running smoothly every day with job reports sent to email after they finish each job. That gives us peace of mind."
"The upgrade process is manual but very simple to do."
"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"It is affordable."
"The backups, especially of the incremental type, are really quick (ranging from five to 10 to 45 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the VM)."
"Stability."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"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."
"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."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"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."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"I would like to have the option of creating a subfolder per job in the backup repository because we had an issue where some files were corrupted and we lost the backup of the majority of the VMs."
"I would like to have a built-in SNMP client, which is important if we want to monitor it using Zabbix, Nagios, or another monitoring solution."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime."
