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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Give it a try as it's very easy to setup and works like charm."
"It is a great lesson in keeping it simple."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"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."
"It is an excellent product; it is easy to deploy, stable, and fast, and their support is excellent."
"Customer Service: Extremely good, and the turnaround is less than a day."
"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

"I had some difficulties activating the product but after the activation phase all went smooth."
"Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup could be improved in several areas, such as enhancing scalability features and possibly reducing the price."
"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."
"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."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"The software does have occasional problems with shadow copy but restarting the services rectifies this."
"They force you to use the web UI or SaaS platform to restore the backup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its yearly maintenance fee is fairly high for me to renew for upgrades and support."
"VMware is a little pricey, but it is a good solution and priced similar to other products."
"Altaro had the best prices and ROI in the whole bunch that we evaluated."
"The price is great for the utility you get and the licensing has never caused any issues with my company."
"The pricing is okay,"
"​By implementing the solution at multiple locations, significant cost savings were achieved."
