Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup Other Solutions Considered

The main difference between Hornetsecurity Backup and other vendors is in its comprehensive feature set offered at a competitive price. Unlike other products that may offer different features as separate products, Hornetsecurity includes all necessary features in one package at the same price. This affordability is crucial, especially for SMB markets with limited budgets.
We looked at several different solutions in the industry, and some other ones work very well. One of the biggest things that made the difference at that point was the cost. Altaro was a huge discount compared to the next solution we were looking at, so much we wondered, what could be the catch.
Once we downloaded the trial version and used it, we were hooked. Nothing was missing, and we got it all for a much better deal.
The other solutions that we evaluated were Carbonite, Veeam, Acronis, and Symantec.

We evaluated Symantec, Veritas, and Veeam.
Before finalizing with any other solution, it is better to evaluate the trial version of Altaro, see the results, and proceed (as the TCO is lower and ROI is much higher).
We evaluated Veeam Software, HPE VM Explorer, Backup Exec, and Trilead.

I have evaluated many solutions but I am really working with solutions that work for my clients and make sense for a particular application.
View full review »As noted above, at that time, automated backups for Hyper-V were not in great supply. Veeam was too bloated and required a lot of work to test and deploy.
