We performed a comparison between Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup and Veeam Backup & Replication 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."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 intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"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."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"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."
"I think that the scalability is very good. We can't compare it."
"It has helped us transfer the solution in two days instead of working for a minimum of one week to ten days."
"One of the most valuable features is the integration. Another good feature is the instant recovery."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is the ease of use."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The WAN accelerator feature has been the most valuable for me. That feature reduced the time needed to complete the task from 25 days to less than a week! This is compared with the original tools used: ntbackup, robocopy and Windows Server Backup."
"Simple and stable."
"The fast backup and restore feature is the most valuable."
"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."
"Stability."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"I think Veeam needs to improve the file installation process, as well as more technical things like snapping feature issues. Sometimes during backup, when it's taking the scan snaps on the ESXi, it started and didn't remove the snapshot from there, which consumed storage on the EXSi. It could be improved with more technical depth. The response time for Veeam's technical support could also be improved."
"The automation could be better."
"Occasionally, in the course of upgrading one's virtualization platform, the backup can be ruined."
"The Veeam portal should be better integrated with all the parts of the new release. But there's always a workaround to replicate the new solution. I'd like to have better integration with other solutions like SAP."
"think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."
"I would like them to move back to host licensing."
"The replication functionality only works for VMware environments. Veeam has a backup agent for AIX operating systems, and we will like to see the replication functionality available for the AIX operating system. Additionally, if the backup functionality for AIX to be included in the Veeam console would be an advantage."
