We performed a comparison between Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup and NAKIVO Backup & Replication 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."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 ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"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."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."
"Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."
"This enables us to do quick granular file recovery as and when required but also to do whole-site relocation in the case of a total loss scenario."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"This product provides cost-efficient and reliable backups."
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"It uses all the bandwidth available if not limited and backs up entire servers with all data about four times faster than Windows Server Backup and EaseUS TODO Backup."
"It is easy to manage all of the individual backup jobs, check the status every day, and it can even send an email to keep us informed."
"Nakivo's reporting features have helped a lot. They give my boss high visibility into what's going on, which is crucial because we had a data breach in the past where we lost about 12 years of data. That's why we bought several appliances, and we replicate the same backup twice a day to three different depositories."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup."
"Stability."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"It is missing the file and folder backup; however, this product is meant for virtual machine backup and recovery, so that is really outside of the scope of the software."
"I would like to have a built-in SNMP client, which is important if we want to monitor it using Zabbix, Nagios, or another monitoring solution."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features."
"I would like to see support for backing up from other platforms, such as physical machines."
"In the press releases, it would be useful to make sure that the manual space reclaim procedure does not have to be performed but that it happens automatically, thus optimizing the use of space."
"It would be helpful to be able to have a custom footprint so that only the required features are installed."
