"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"The ability to clone backups."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"This is a perfect option for an SMB."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"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."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."
"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"I needed tech support to straighten out an issue with cloud backup. I have troubleshooting to do with failed backups."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"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."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"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."
"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."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
