Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The most valuable feature of Altaro VM Backup is its ability to backup and restore various types of data, including Active Directory, application servers, and SQL Server databases."

"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."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"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."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."

"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"Stability."
"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 cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"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."
"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."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"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."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"Technical support could be improved."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
