Since the team is contiuously working on developing some create features. ----- ### "Great Value" — 5.0/5 > **Dwayne** | *1 August 2022* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it is simple to use and can be installed on the Hypervisor host and did not need a dedicated backup server. > > **Cons**: I really cant think of anything that I would want to change. It really is a set it and forget it. I get daily emails with success/failure status. > > I have been using Altaro for over 10 years and there support is via chat. You get a live agent within a 30 seconds and help work through backup problem extremely fast. ----- ### "Finicky backups with hit or miss support" — 3.0/5 > **Greg** | *16 January 2020* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to setup and the interface was well laid out and intuitive > > **Cons**: We had unpredictable backups and strange issues especially around log truncation with our MS Exchange backups that Altaro support claimed they had a sev 1 case open with Microsoft for months. Might still be open but they never got it resolved for the 6 months it took from when I opened the support case with Altaro until we moved to a different backup solution. Restores were unreliable as well, we could get files back with decent reliability but the machine recoveries were seldom successful > > It was a relatively cheap to purchase product but the unreliability and hours spent every week chasing down random issues made me very glad to move on ----- ### "Great Product" — 5.0/5 > **Alan** | *12 July 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 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\! > > **Cons**: Granular file recovery a bit painful but fine of restoring a few files / folders ----- ### "Highly recommended software" — 5.0/5 > **Ashwin** | *1 December 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We chose Altaro as it met all our requirements as a VM Backup and Recovery software at a cheaper cost than other common VM Backup and Recovery software. The system is very easy to use and did not require any training to implement. The Sandbox \& Verification is a big plus to test backups and to do test drills. We rarely had issues with the software and the minor issues we had were promptly addressed by support. > > **Cons**: Though it provides the possibility to backup a VM to cloud providers, it does not offer the possibility to run the VM from the cloud as a DR site. However I understood that this feature is being implemented and coming soon which will be a great addition. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/114887/hyper-v-backup?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/114887/hyper-v-backup) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
