Cons
"The scalability of the solution is limited.""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.""Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful.""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.""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.""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.""Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."

"We faced issues with recovery and restoration.""It needs an easier interface.""The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable.""Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot.""The pricing could be cheaper.""The reliability is sometimes lacking.""Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement.""Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
