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."
"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."
"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 intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"If you have VMs to backup, Altaro is the BEST solution for us and many others alike."
"This solution is stable."
"No other product offers these features for this price."
"Altaro is always our go-to VM backup software."
"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

"We use Linux guests on Hyper-V clusters and we really need the file level restore on these VMs (ext3 and 4 file systems) functionality."
"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."
"Storage usage: you have often to manually free disk spaces."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Stability."
"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."
"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."
"Its yearly maintenance fee is fairly high for me to renew for upgrades and support."
"The price is great for the utility you get and the licensing has never caused any issues with my company."
"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."
"The pricing is okay,"
"VMware is a little pricey, but it is a good solution and priced similar to other products."
"There is a free version for Hosts with 2 VMs."
"No other product offers these features for this price. The ROI is great."
