PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

Altaro provides a quick an easy VM backup solution without a lot of resource overhead or extensive training.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

Upon occasion, I would have the service not connect (Server 2008 R2) and would have to restart it manually to allow the backup engine to function. It was not a frequent issue but could have been problematic under the right circumstances. Having since migrated to Server 2016 a couple of months go, I have yet to experience this issue.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

Altaro has helped me recover from issues when Microsoft patches have left my system inoperable or when other system changes that were implemented created issues that could not be remedied by an uninstall or reversal.
