We performed a comparison between Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup and Microsoft DPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"The most valuable feature of Altaro VM Backup is its ability to backup and restore various types of data, including Active Directory, application servers, and SQL Server databases."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"This solution is stable."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"It is almost perfect for Microsoft products. It is not a very powerful tool, but it is okay for small sites and small businesses with Microsoft products. It is easy to use for backup and restore. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers such as Exchange and SharePoint servers."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"Stability."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"It needs portability for other vendors. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers, but it doesn't support third-party solutions such as Oracle Database. It depends on Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy, especially for Hyper-V, which has a lot of problems. They should enhance the Volume Shadow Copy functionality. Its reporting should also be better. Reporting is too weak in DPM."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
