"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"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."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"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."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"This solution is stable."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."
"The technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
"It's simple to use."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"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."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"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."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"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."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"The integration needs improvement."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
