We performed a comparison between Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup and Veeam 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."Ability to restore to any host."
"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."
"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."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"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 CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
"The initial setup was not overly complex."
"It is a good solution for backups and reporting."
"The integration with some storage systems like HP or Nutanix and great support are the most valuable features. You get productivity support. You get a response within one hour, even in the evening or night. The functionality of the whole software is good."
"Veeam Backup has many valuable features and every feature is different. I have created backups for file-level backup, VMware or hypervisor virtual machines, physical machines, and workstations as well. Every time, I learn something new."
"The technical support is good."
"The most valuable aspects are the latest features in version 12.1, which introduced enhanced security features."
"Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000."
"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."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"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."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."
"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."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"It would be preferable if they could introduce a complete Linux version instead of relying solely on Microsoft for management. There should be a unified integration of all their products. Currently, there are various products like cloud backup and others that exist separately. It would be better if they could create a single comprehensive platform or product, as opposed to having disparate products that lack proper communication between them."
"Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."
"The more features the solution has the more complex it can be to set up. Veeam Backup & Replication can be complex."
"The replication process is very slow. It takes too long to replicate a virtual machine."
"The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better."
"Technical support can be improved."
"There needs to be more integration with VMware and the virtual machine."
"The recovery and integration features of Veeam Backup Replication could improve. For example, all VM integration could improve, such as with Hyper-V and VMware."
