"No other product offers these features for this price."
"Altaro Hyper-v backup is not pricey and provides great features to secure your production data on Microsoft Hyper-V clusters."
"Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."

Cons

"The recovery speed could be quicker, especially when you only need a file or two."
"Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup could be improved in several areas, such as enhancing scalability features and possibly reducing the price."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"The only issue at the moment is a lack of throttling."
"I did not manage to import my old configuration, in v4, into v5 just after it what was released, however, I believe this functionality has been improved."
"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."
"There could be a feature to take a snapshot for version backup."
"I do not have notes for improvements."
"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."
"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a free version for Hosts with 2 VMs."
"Its yearly maintenance fee is fairly high for me to renew for upgrades and support."
"The pricing is okay,"
"​By implementing the solution at multiple locations, significant cost savings were achieved."
"VMware is a little pricey, but it is a good solution and priced similar to other products."
"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."
"Altaro VM Backup is affordably priced. It is a best value for its price and has almost every feature that an expensive, popular product offers."
"The price is great for the utility you get and the licensing has never caused any issues with my company."
