We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud 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."IntelliSnap for snapshot collection is one of the most efficient and easiest ways to back up large amounts of data."
"The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console."
"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."
"The solution provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover our data across on-premise locations. Some of the guys have been using it to move a virtual machine from VMware to the Microsoft solution, Hyper-V. They back it up and then they restore to the different virtual machine provider, and that works great."
"The compression and deduplication are great for optimizing bandwidth and speed. I don't have to worry about it or think about it, and, because it's a SaaS solution, I don't have to worry about the storage size."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Backup and archive with a single window, with a single backup job. You only need to type "c"."
"It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market."
"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."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"This solution is stable."
"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 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."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"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 pricing of the solution can be improved and made cheaper."
"Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage."
"The solution requires constant attention. Commvault is very complex. We are constantly making adjustments and working through hotfixes, updates, and issues."
"Sometimes, we have a performance issue with the backup speed. So, that has to be rectified and improved."
"The setup was a little bit difficult for a non-IT person like me. My OneDrive is protected by multifactor authentication, and to get the backup to begin behind that multifactor authentication took a little bit of almost customized support, even though I was following the instructions and the videos. That process could have been easier."
"The speed of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is adequate. Microsoft controls the amount of bandwidth that people have when they're using Azure and the O365 environment... If they could work out something with Microsoft to improve the speed, that would help."
"The product is a bit complex."
"We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue."
"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."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"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."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"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 scalability of the solution is limited."
