More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup pros

"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."

Cons

"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."

"The solution needs multi-platform support as it is currently only available for VMware and Hyper-V."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"Stability."
