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.

I like that iDrive is affordable and does not backup only certain types of files based on your tier of membership.

Drag and Drop facility is easy to use and helps to manage the files very easily. Features of IDrive backup is great, and the search function is helping in searching through a large set of files.

Affordable, reliable, easy to use, customer service if needed.

IDrive has saved me more than once since I purchased it. It's also reassuring knowing I can access some files if I am traveling.

I loved being able to handle backups for ALL my drives and mobile devices on a single account and the online interface is great.

I love that you can encrypt the cloud back up as well as your local back up and that you can create an ISO drive image quickly and easily on an external hard drive.

Also, a full restore of a crashed hard drive  can take days to do online but probably less than an hour from a local backup. Idrive has very robust phone and chat support.

I love the ease of use and retrieval of files and folders.

Fails from time to time, not sure why. Have to leave the computer on all the time and takes a long time to back up a small amount of files.

This idrive is user friendly and i recommend it to my colleagues.

Excellent affordable backup system for cloud needs.

This system backs up quite well and on schedule. Less expensive than previous software backup systems.

What I like most about iDrive is that you can schedule backups as often as you need and backup what ever you need. I love being able to rest easy knowing my files are safe  every night.

Overall, I am pleased with this move. We had to find a new backup solution in a hurry after firing our old tech support outsource team, and this was an unbeatable offer.

Great product, well priced, runs in background without using a lot of resources, real time backup, very fast to download files.

Technical support was very responsive when I needed assistance. The cost of the product was very reasonable for the great features the software has.

I discovered iDrive after losing an entire issue. I spent days reconstructing it.

Tech support was no help in retrieving the files. Overall, the program feels constrictive, frustrating, and difficult compared to other cloud storage I've used.

I really like its ease of use, the speed of your server to upload the files and the simplicity of the interface.

The pricing annual made it a good value if the features and performance meet the needs. I did get responses back from CS as I needed.

Searching is a little difficult, but not much. Desktop version sometimes doesn't work for downloading but the on-line version is faster anyways.

Inability to manage local backups ( sync deletions) which can be done in cloud.

For about a week I see that the application stated an error due to no files to backup, so apparently, it stopped working for no apparent reason.

It can be used across multiple platforms. It integrates well with multiple hardware, software and operating systems.

The initial setup has been great, and much easier to handle than expected.

However, once I had installed all the requisite free software to make it work, I discovered that the online interface was easy to use.

Free version will backup your PC to a local drive and will also backup up to 5GB online for free. The cost of the paid version compared to the importance of what the software does is well worth it.

Customer support was fantastic and explained the options we would have under each plan.

They have good promotions for the first year which, if amortized, decreases the cost for subsequent years. Idrive really is an excellent value.

The configuration interface, for both the client and the web administration, is confusing and limited. I found a bug in the macOS client that made my us of the system very difficult.
