Code Mercenary Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing, 11-50 employees Used the software for: 2+ years ** Overall Rating 4.0 ** Ease of Use 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 Features 5.0 Value for Money 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 90% 9/10 Reviewer Source Source: Capterra August 1, 2022 "Gives me a lot of value for my money" **Overall:** I've been very pleased with Altaro VM Backup for my VMware ESXI network. Other backup packages were either way too simple or way too expensive and too complicated. I'm not primarily a network administrator, I'm a software engineer, so I don't want to have to understand all the intricacies of complex backups. I just want to be able to set up a reliable backup that happens in an automated way and notifies me in a clear fashion if the backup completes and warns me if it doesn't complete. Altaro hit all the right balance of those features for our small company. **Pros:** The price is great for a small business that needs decent backup software with a good feature set. The interface is easy to use even if creating backups is not your primary job. The daily notifications are great and summarize what's happened to make it easy to see if anything needs your attention without devoting a lot of time to reading the email. **Cons:** Needs occasional hand-holding. For a couple reasons the backups will fail once or twice a quarter. Sometimes it's due to needing to reauthenticate with my offsite storage on a Synology array but other times it's because the Altaro services stop working on the backup server so I have to stop and restart them. **Alternatives Considered:** [Veeam Data Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/154905/Veeam-Availability-Suite/) **Reasons for Choosing VM Backup:** Been too long to remember why. **Reasons for Switching to VM Backup:** Needed more features and visibility into the sucess or failure of the backups. David D. IT Guy Information Technology and Services, 1-10 employees Used the software for: 2+ years ** Overall Rating 5.0 ** Ease of Use 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 Features 5.0 Value for Money 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 100% 10/10 Reviewer Source Source: Capterra August 1, 2022 "Been using it for years and each new version does bring extra features" **Overall:** The backup of customer servers to our own premises was the ultimate goal and this has been achieved at an affordable rate to use and our customers - other solutions were just not user friend at all. **Pros:** The MSP pricing is excellent compared to all others and very simple to get my head around. Simply buying a license per server backed up is much easier than worry about cost per GB and cost per CPU core that some others think is normal. **Cons:** On the MSP dashboard managing hosts regards licencing is a little tedious and confusing. Simply converting an existing installation from the 2 guest to MSP version is a hassle and not obvious how to do without a lot of trial and error to work it out. **Alternatives Considered:** [Veem](https://www.capterra.com/p/234815/Veem/) **Reasons for Choosing VM Backup:** Affordability and ease of use and licencing. **Reasons for Switching to VM Backup:** Affordability and ease of setup.
