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…

Pros

"If you have VMs to backup, Altaro is the BEST solution for us and many others alike."
"Great backup features for all my Hyper V machines."
"No other product offers these features for this price."
"I have no reservations recommending Altaro for the Hyper-V based small to medium sized business."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"Generally, the entire program is brilliant, and there isn't any one feature that I can pick out."
"We looked for a cheaper Hyper-V backup solution, and Altaro is the best choice for this purpose."
"This product is not expensive, does the job what I bought it for, and is not time consuming."
"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."
"Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup could be improved in several areas, such as enhancing scalability features and possibly reducing the price."
"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."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"The only issue at the moment is a lack of throttling."
"Being able to backup the actual host machine would be an improvement for us."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Unable to restore a VM when I needed it. Tried multiple hosts. Connected via gig switch and would never complete."
"They force you to use the web UI or SaaS platform to restore the backup."

"Altaro had the best prices and ROI in the whole bunch that we evaluated."
"​By implementing the solution at multiple locations, significant cost savings were achieved."
