We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP 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."It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"It is easy to configure."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"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."
"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 CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"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."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"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."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
