We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud 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."Commvault is both very stable and scalable."
"We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it."
"The data is well-protected. It doesn't age off until it's copied. That's a big feature right there. When you reach the end of your retention, it does not expire until the secondary copy is completed. That allows you to hold onto data that otherwise would have aged off by retention. I like that feature. It's hard to just delete or lose data using the Commvault platform."
"IntelliSnap and file system backups are valuable features."
"The solution also provides me with a complete view of our data. I write scripts to report information from the Command Center daily. I report it in HTML and have the status of the last day for the whole environment."
"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"The solution includes the best compatibility metrics for integration and they are managed by Google support."
"The product's stability is good enough."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"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."
"Setup is complex."
"I would like to have a manager-level dashboard to review the backups. This is not from an administrative perspective where you can see the details of the execution. Rather, it would only show the percentage of completeness for each one."
"We are using a production environment with customer-sensitive data on it. As per our central bank rules and regulations, we can't keep our customer's sensitive data in the cloud."
"Bare-metal restore needs some work. It's not intuitive and seems to have been an afterthought."
"Commvault could benefit from increased automation to streamline processes and enhance predictability."
"They can always improve the interface design to make it easier. Sometimes, you need to click two or three times to do something. They should look at what tabs are used most and make them more accessible, to cut the time it takes to get to that information."
"Improved documentation and user training resources could contribute to a smoother onboarding process and more effective utilization of the platform's capabilities."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"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."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"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."
"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."
"Stability."
"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."
