Lacks multi-platform support and physical infrastructure but excels in storage optimization

We use it for VM backup and Office 365 backup I find the solution to be user-friendly and easy to manage and deploy. It provides storage for Office 365, which is beneficial, and the deduplication technology is excellent, especially in optimizing storage capacity compared to others. In terms of…

User-friendly interface, and reasonably priced but the support needs improvement

While the solution is generally satisfactory, we encountered difficulties when attempting to seek assistance for issues we faced. Getting the necessary help proved to be quite challenging. The after-sales service is not ideal for French-speaking customers like us in Quebec. Unfortunately, there is no local support available for us. We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Give it a try as it's very easy to setup and works like charm."

"Altaro Hyper-V backup is a product that, once installed, does not need much maintenance."

"Ability to restore to any host."

"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."

"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."

"Generally, the entire program is brilliant, and there isn't any one feature that I can pick out."

"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."

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup pros

"the interface is the most valuable feature and for the client it's security."

"Veeam Cloud Connect is used extensively, and there's a plan to increase its usage in the future."

"It's a great product because it's great scalability and it scales out from small to big companies perfectly."

"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."

"I like this solution and recommend it to clients."

"For my needs, the solution offers everything I want."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] pros

Cons

"I had some difficulties activating the product but after the activation phase all went smooth."

"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."

"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."

"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."

"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."

"The software does have occasional problems with shadow copy but restarting the services rectifies this."

"We use Linux guests on Hyper-V clusters and we really need the file level restore on these VMs (ext3 and 4 file systems) functionality."

"The scalability of the solution is limited."

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup cons

"I think the pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."

"The solution could improve the stability."

"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."

"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."

"Doesn't back-up from KVM."

"The dashboard could be more intuitive."

"We were interested in investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in VMware. VMware right now is one of the biggest solutions in the world, in terms of the IT environment. But for Cloud Connect it's not. I think they need the cloud version to reach more customers, to enable the cloud version to be used by more people."

"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] cons
