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

"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"There is a free version for Hosts with 2 VMs."
"We looked for a cheaper Hyper-V backup solution, and Altaro is the best choice for this purpose."
"Altaro Hyper-v backup is not pricey and provides great features to secure your production data on Microsoft Hyper-V clusters."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"I could create VM backups from live machines without any issues."
"In Hyper-V, I think there are many valuable features, including replication between different hosts, high availability, live migration where I can migrate between one host to another, as well as incremental disaster recovery, which are very good."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"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

"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"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)."
"Storage usage: you have often to manually free disk spaces."
"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."
"Sometimes, due to disk space and VSS, we have experienced stability issues."
"Stability."
"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."
"Being able to backup the actual host machine would be an improvement for us."
"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 two VMs. I would advise to study the deployment environment well, prior to committing to order a license per host."
"VMware is a little pricey, but it is a good solution and priced similar to other products."
"Its yearly maintenance fee is fairly high for me to renew for upgrades and support."
"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."
"There is a free version for Hosts with 2 VMs."
"The price is great for the utility you get and the licensing has never caused any issues with my company."
"Altaro had the best prices and ROI in the whole bunch that we evaluated."
"The pricing is okay,"
