As a nonprofit, this software was just what we needed. I loved the easy setup, very intuitive.

Affordable and easy to use backup solution with outstanding performance and stellar support.

Easy to install and configure. File restore is also easy and quick.

Website is constantly updated with tips, help and guides. Very clever instant chat support feature which can be accessed via the software it self.

We have used the software for 4+ years now and we use it on all our virtual machines. Great product and the customer support is very attentive.

I wish they would complete the backup and just add a warning that there was an error code reported. Using a new storage device resolved the issues in our case.

The user interface is a very nice place from which to work. The integration with Hyper-V has been extremely reliable.

Daily usage is also too intuitive. Support has been good to resolve issues.

Monitoring report often shows a failed backup, when going into the report tab on the software itself it doesn't show as failed.

The guys and girls from the support team are lightning fast with response and can help you in minutes.

I'm really impressed by how easy it was to get up and going with Altaro. Setup was very straightforward and it was simple to get all the pieces in place and get going.

We have been very pleased with the performance and are now looking at expanding our use of the product and taking advantage of cloud targets for backup storage.

I suspect this is related to a number of background services that are required and it is not a major headache.

M not sure if there's something negative about it.

They have a very fair pricing structure for both licenses and support services and offer discounts and incentives when needed. Offsite backup feature easy to implement.

Right now, my option is to backup to my local NAS, commit a second backup to segment 2 NAS for resiliency and incase of fire or disaster and recover.

Reliable backup that automatically does integrity checks and send notifcations for failures/problems is also great.

The software is very easy to use and setup. I rarely have issues but when I have had issues the customer support is on top of the problems.

Great simple to use interface and the ability to link up to many clod providers including our own space at datacentre. Also the Tech Support are great.

Because of the nature of it's function it has boosted the company's revenue.

Altaro is ideal for small enviroments with HYPERV ONLY. If customers growth, or if you need integration into Vendor Driven Storage Arrays you will have to look for other products.

Actually, I do not have anything I can complain about. There is only one thing I am missing and that is IPV6 support for OffSite Server.

Reliable, easy to use, affordable backup software for your VM environments.

The entire package is simple and awesome, simply awesome, especially considering the price point.

It's very ease to use and fit our needs to backup all of the VM server.

We were unhappy with our current backup software and started looking for alternatives.

Very good and fast support (for every question a useful answer).

I am really happy about the software. A friend told us about it because he uses Altaro Backup in his company.

Altaro makes me feel like I have control over the backups of my environment, and I feel encouraged that I can continue to trust this software.

7 Virtual Machines all backed up successfully and in a time window that seriously made me look twice. The compression and the speed of backups - wow.

The ability to self-host the server out of a docker container and scale it in our existing compute resources (Kubernetes) is an excellent option that we take advantage of.

Being a software company ourselves, we really like how Comet can be configured and customized.

The scheduling part and performance when using the Comet Server as storage destination are some of the parts where we struggle the most with.

Very easy to use and managed, very simple to install en fast product.

After a few evaluations we came to Comet, has a good pricing model, it's easy to start with and we are a happy user for more than 2 years.

Setup and executing backup jobs works perfect.

Administration side of things is packed with incredibly useful features and options.

We specifically also needed a quick and easy bare-metal restore feature which was at the time still in development with comet backup.

Tech support issues are 'relatively' easy to resolve - response is 'pretty quick.

Easy of usework as expected - like a charmsingle client backup 12 tb. Easy pasta backup and restore, like a boss.

Great self-hosted multiplatform backup solution.

I've been really happy with Comet since the minute we started using them. I'm very happy with the switch.

There are functionalities that take time to develop, for example until recently there was no possibility to copy machines in VmWare.

I like the fact that I can rebrand the software. We can make use of a plethora of different storage providers, even our own.

Account-wide deduplication and compression make storage footprint much smaller and backups much quicker. User interface is clean and easy to use.

Outstanding customer service for outstanding software.

I liked the integration into backblaze. I liked the pay per use pricing model where I only pay for customers as I add them into the software.

The interface is a little confuse, paths to the options are not directly.

I was impressed by the ease of use of the server, how to deploy agents and how easy was to extract information from the server to report to our users how the backup was protecting their information.

The ability to white label the software, and run our own infrastructure has been fantastic.

More robust error reporting when jobs fail is needed.

We were able to integrate Comet Backup well into our system landscape, even with monitoring.

File backup plus select system images have been super helpful for recovery. We have been able to restore a full system image to a VM for a client well we rebuilt their main hardware.

The pricing is very fair for a product like this and I love that you can brand the client to look and feel like your business.

Ability to white-label without additional fees. Ability to use your own storage solution.

The price point and flexibility to use a storage backend of your choice.

Backup servers are available for Windows and Linux. Installation and configuration is very easy.

Great product for msp on super competitive prices.

Linux support is very lacking - I can't use Comet to backup any of my Linux servers to the extent of less-than-a-day disaster recovery.

Reporting is a bit weak if a customer sked for a report on their backups.
