We performed a comparison between Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup and NAKIVO 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 ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"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."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"Nakivo Backup and Replication's web-based management interface enables intuitive, rapid, and seamless configuration and management of all backup and recovery functionality across the enterprise."
"Before using Nakivo Backup & Replication, all our data backup processes took a long time and did not optimize the disk space reserved for backup. With the introduction of Nakivo Backup & Replication, saving times have been reduced by almost half (thanks to the use of several simultaneous transporters) and the space occupied has also had a very important reduction."
"Nakivo's backup and replication product has allowed us to implement a disaster recovery solution with a target repository in the cloud."
"It is easy to set up using the included virtual appliance and also includes agents for most NAS systems."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"The product is good for protecting very low-budget offices, whereas other solutions fail in terms of cost and footprint of the VMs involved."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"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 initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"Personally, I would like to have the ability to backup older legacy systems on the new versions as well."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"The only thing we have encountered that we would like to see improved in the future are error messages. They could be more detailed and helpful, without the need to send logs to support. Failing that, the part of the log related to the error could be displayed alongside the error message, so I can investigate the error without looking through all of those logs that I'm able to download."
"An improvement would be to give us more control over the email alerts, with different emails going to different addresses based on a set of rules."
