Lacks multi-platform support and physical infrastructure but excels in storage optimization
We use it for VM backup and Office 365 backup I find the solution to be user-friendly and easy to manage and deploy. It provides storage for Office 365, which is beneficial, and the deduplication technology is excellent, especially in optimizing storage capacity compared to others. In terms of…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Give it a try as it's very easy to setup and works like charm."
"The initial setup was very straightforward, as the software installs easily, is very easy to configure and has a nice GUI."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"Since moving to Altaro, we feel that backing up and restoring files has become much more efficient in our organization."
"There is a free version for Hosts with 2 VMs."
"Altaro reduced the time we needed for managing our backups, especially significant is the Cloud Management Console, which solved many issues we had with prior products."
"Altaro Hyper-v backup is not pricey and provides great features to secure your production data on Microsoft Hyper-V clusters."
"Customer Service: Extremely good, and the turnaround is less than a day."
"The seamless integration, the clear and easy-to-use UI, and the pricing, which is fairly cheap, are all valuable aspects of the product."
 

Cons

"The only issue at the moment is a lack of throttling."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Altaro also supports booting directly from a backup drive (image), but this feature is hamstrung by the fact that it requires the backup image to be neither compressed or encrypted."
"I had some difficulties activating the product but after the activation phase all went smooth."
"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 initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Stability."
"They force you to use the web UI or SaaS platform to restore the backup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Altaro had the best prices and ROI in the whole bunch that we evaluated."
"​By implementing the solution at multiple locations, significant cost savings were achieved."
"There is a free version for Hosts with 2 VMs."
"No other product offers these features for this price. The ROI is great."
"There is a free version for two VMs. I would advise to study the deployment environment well, prior to committing to order a license per host."
"VMware is a little pricey, but it is a good solution and priced similar to other products."
"The pricing is okay,"
"The price is great for the utility you get and the licensing has never caused any issues with my company."
