We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily.""The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent.""Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file.""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.""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.""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.""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 integration with Android devices needs enhancement.""Norton 360’s features for device optimization could be better.""The tool should be easily available in the market and should be cheaper.""The product should be improved with more storage.
