Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"This solution is stable."
"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."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"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."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"The implementation of Nakivo made it possible to implement the information security policies currently in force in the company and to meet the statutory requirements in the field of IT security."
"With Nakivo, I have the peace of mind that all of my production environment is safely backed up and can be restored safely, easily, and quickly with a few clicks."
"The VM Backup Verification is one of the features I appreciate the most."
"The simplicity of installation and the intuitive user interface have made it easy for our team to quickly set up and manage the backups without requiring extensive training."
"The most valuable feature is the support, as it is directly from Nakivo and it is possible to send a support request that contains all of the technical data on the environment, as well as the software, required for the answer."
"We have found all the features of Nakivo to be useful and the solution is easier to use compared to Proxmox. It is user-friendly, we are very satisfied."
"The easy management and a good overview are the most important aspects."
 

Cons

"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"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."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"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."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Updating VM tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"It would be interesting if it were possible to integrate a mobile app to monitor the system in real-time."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"In the future, it would be nice to have support for Zimbra email, Collabora Office, and the NextCloud content collaboration platform."
"Compression and data deduplication are okay, but they could be improved."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"It could be a little bit faster in terms of backup and offer more reliable SQL server backups."
"It is missing the file and folder backup; however, this product is meant for virtual machine backup and recovery, so that is really outside of the scope of the software."
