We performed a comparison between Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup and Veritas Backup Exec 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."We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"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 ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"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."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it."
"Veritas Backup Exec is fully compatible with different tape libraries."
"The most valuable features of Veritas Backup Exec are the graphical interface, ease of management, and overall ease of use."
"It is a scalable product."
"This solution works well and has good integration with technologies such as VMware and Hyper-V."
"In the global business world, Veritas has a very good name. I think they have a good solid product, and they are always trying to improve it, and update it. ;They know what the client actually needs, and they are up to the challenge of satisfying those needs."
"It gives us the ability to locate and restore critical files which users may have intentionally or unknowing deleted a while ago."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"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 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."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Stability."
"Compared to other vendors, there are features that you will find not included in Veritas."
"I would like to be able to create a restore task that can be scheduled so that the same restore action will be performed automatically."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
"The integration with SaaS applications like Office 365 needs to be improved."
"There needs to be an integration process of the endpoint devices so that we don't have to redo everything for different products."
"Enhanced support for cloud backup needs to be added."
"It is not a recommended software when it comes to large environments where there has to be a minimal Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and/or Recover Point Objective (RPO)."
"The EDR should be looked at, as the operating system is too weak."
