We performed a comparison between Cohesity DataProtect 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."The dashboard is very rich and provides details needed for a moderator."
"Cohesity's web-scale architecture enables us to scale up as needed."
"The ability to essentially instantly recover a VM and have it run on the Cohesity Platform while all those bits are technically being recovered in the background is useful to us."
"It's stable."
"We like that we can use production data to run intensive reports that would otherwise bog down the production server."
"After linking a cloud subscription, like Azure for example (AWS and Google are also supported), you can "spin" a VM onto the cloud from any backup snapshot."
"Instant recovery options are a big benefit for urgent restores, as we don't need to wait for hours or days for a restore to complete before being able to access the files."
"It offers an easy, quick backup and restore of files and VMs. Also, the "Google-like " search for files is awesome."
"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."
"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."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"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."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"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."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"Reporting is quite limited and not customizable."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"I would like to see the management of multiple nodes inside a tenant. If you want to manage a Cohesity environment, you either go on a per-node base, and you can hop from one node to the other, or you need to implement their SaaS capability but it always needs an internet connection. We would really like to have some kind of local management entity so that we can see all the Cohesity nodes in a customer environment and manage those nodes centrally. That's something that we would really like, and they are really working on it."
"The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it."
"When a new release is launched, there may be some bugs that need to be addressed by the developers. However, they promptly resolve these issues, and the software runs smoothly once again."
"We have Oracle databases running on Linux servers in our environment and we have found the Oracle backups were quite complex to setup."
"The solution's dashboard or UI can be enhanced and made more user-friendly than its competitors."
"The solution has a more complex setup than Veritas and Veeam."
"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."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
