We performed a comparison between Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup and VMware vSphere based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"This solution is stable."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"It's very transparent and independent."
"The virtualization is set by itself. vSphere is the best way to have a non-host based fixed solution. We always try to find an agnostic environment where we can restore agnostics or just say, "I need resources, capacity." That's why VMware vSphere in particular, has been the best in the past but now also with the evolution of their product. Nowadays, you don't have to use any STEM infrastructure anymore because the bandwidth and the land speeds are getting steeper."
"The stability of VMware vSphere is very good. It has high resiliency, it is one of the best solutions on the market."
"It's a very nice tool to be able to reduce your footprint, consolidate servers, and accumulate several servers in a high-density configuration."
"I think that the solution is perfect. It's the best on the market."
"The DRS feature of this solution is a very valuable feature."
"We have seen a performance boost because we have been able to more dynamically allocate either memory or processors."
"VMware's high availability which supports our SLA, VMware on the fly features like LUN expansion, P2V and API integrations are the most valuable features."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"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."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"Stability."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"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."
"The container management could be improved. It's far from perfect right now."
"My biggest suggestion would be some kind of a mechanism - and it's almost an AI-type thing, a Siri/Cortana - for where to find how to do certain things. If there was the ability to just type in a basic question and say, "How do I change the VM settings for this?" and it could bring me right there, that would be really awesome."
"Sometimes it's impossible to prevent problems from happening. With vSphere, you never know where the problem is going to come from, but you will always know that there is a problem. This is the problem."
"I would like more Amazon stuff inside of VMware."
"It is expensive. They can improve the licensing cost for Cloud Director. They can also improve the integration with other applications and the metering feature, which is currently not flexible."
"The implementation of VMware vSphere is easy. For integration companies, it's easy, the final client cannot do it alone but for an implementor it's easy."
"They should make it more efficient and stable."
"As we continue to push mission-critical workloads into vSphere, and those workloads are not readily protected at the application layer for availability, continuing to increase the size limitations on FT-protected VMs would be a great advance."
