Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups.""Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included.""Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication.""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.""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.""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.""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."

Cons
"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.""Stability.""To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time.""Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran.""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.""It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location.""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."

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup Cons →

"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud.""The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient.""More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios.""It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory.""There is room for improvement in stability.""The GUI has room for improvement.""The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want.""The GUI could be slightly improved."

  • "The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
  • "The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."

  • "It's very economical and worth the cost."
  • "It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
