Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."
"It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates."
"The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."
"Whenever you have a crash or your service is not working, you can just live-boot the machine and have your service up and running."
"The scalability of the product is fine."
"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."
"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"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."
"This solution is stable."
"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 ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."
"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."
"I am working in some of the more rural areas of Sweden, and some of the customers here are a little bit wary of cloud technology at the moment. It is not like in Gothenburg or Stockholm, where people rely on it so much more. In the rural areas, companies are saying that we do need to use the cloud, and they are being very wary about their data, especially with GDPR and all that kind of stuff. Having more control and having an option for backing up locally, even if you don't want to use it, would be something very good. The cloud backup is brilliant, but there should be an option to take that cloud backup and save it locally as well. If you lose connection to the internet or you lose access to your data in the cloud, having a backup copy of the latest data on your server is helpful. You need to be able to get access to your customers' files, especially with GDPR, where you need to know where your customers' details are. If they're in the cloud and you've lost access to them, then you'll go into those GDPR regulations. This is somewhere where both Barracuda and Veeam haven't gone as far. As far as I have understood, with Veeam, you can back up your local servers to the cloud but not vice versa. I haven't worked on it much."
"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."
"I would like to see a way to increase space."
"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."
"Stability."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"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."
"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 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."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
