We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup 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.
"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."
"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."
"The backup timing and restoring process is great compared to other options."
"I would definitely say the backup and recovery. It used to be a separate module. It was a recovery part and it would literally duplicate the machine to bare bones."
"The administration is pretty flexible in terms of defining a multi-tenant type of setup."
"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."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"This solution is stable."
"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 product needs to have a simple DR process."
"For smaller companies it's a little more challenging to maintain."
"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."
"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system. This will also reduce the cost. Currently, the customers have to buy the hardware in addition to the operating system, which increases the overhead in terms of procurement."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"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."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"Stability."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"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."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
