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…

Seamlessly integrated backup solution with clear UI and affordable pricing
We wanted a backup on an external provider of our old code repository and we chose this solution Thanks to the solution, we have more control for ISO 27001, which is equivalent to SOC 2 in America. It is required for all security compliance. The seamless integration, the clear and easy-to-use…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Altaro VM Backup is affordably priced, is a best value for its price, and has almost every feature that an expensive, popular product offers."
"If you have VMs to backup, Altaro is the BEST solution for us and many others alike."
"Give it a try as it's very easy to setup and works like charm."
"The costs of performing restores are less than ever before as we can save a lot of time with this software."
"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."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"Generally, the entire program is brilliant, and there isn't any one feature that I can pick out."
"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"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 initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Missing features at the moment are Linux file-level restore, backup from physical machines, German localized version, and probably full tape support (RDX is supported but there is no "real tape" support)."
"The yearly maintenance fee can be improved. It is high."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"Storage usage: you have often to manually free disk spaces."
"It would be good to if they would expand the functionality to be able to backup normal servers without Hyper-V."
"Being able to backup the actual host machine would be an improvement for us."
"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."
"They force you to use the web UI or SaaS platform to restore the backup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a free version for Hosts with 2 VMs."
"VMware is a little pricey, but it is a good solution and priced similar to other products."
"The price is great for the utility you get and the licensing has never caused any issues with my company."
"The pricing is okay,"
"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."
"​By implementing the solution at multiple locations, significant cost savings were achieved."
"Its yearly maintenance fee is fairly high for me to renew for upgrades and support."
