"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 CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"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 product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"I like that they have some new devices that are simpler to use because they kind of tie right into the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the backups."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"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."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Their restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."
"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery."
