Overall Satisfaction with Altaro VM Backup
We have used Altaro, not only internally, BUT also at our customers we support. Altaro is really a good product, and their support (when required) is super friendly and excellent support. It gives us a single pane of glass view for our customers, and give us peace of mind.
- Backup of Hyper-V environments for me is super easy to do
- Restoration of emails into a PST file hassle free.
- Licensing is awesome.
- Excellent training portal
- I think, from my side, there is not really major issues in Altaro.
- Trustworthy backups
- On the positive side, Altaro is easy to implement, manage, and maintain.
- On the "negative" side, I can honestly not think of anything offhand.
Each of the products got its own strengths. For me, it is all about the customer, and about their requirements. Altaro is very good software, and I can get protected what I need to for our customers, and that is the most important part.
