"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."
"This solution is stable."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"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 ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"I like that Micro Focus keeps a separate catalog of our data."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention."
"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up our SQL server."
"The normal file system backup is easy to manage, and our success rate is quite high."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you understand Data Protector."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"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."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"We have so many specific technological cracks in Micro Focus, but we are not getting the features, facilities, or coordination between the global delivery centers and the R&D team that we need to express our ideas."
"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
"It's very expensive compared to Veeam and other similar solutions."
"I don't like this solution so much because it's very technical and compared to Commvault and Veeam, it's not so user-friendly. The interface needs improvement."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match."
"The online backups of Office 365 have room for improvement. This is now available for the Exchange Online part of Office 365, but we're still waiting for SharePoint Online, Teams, etc. We know that it's coming, but it takes time."
