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…

Simple and flexible backup solution

I mainly use Cloud Connect as a cloud backup repository Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options. I've been using Cloud Connect for about four years. We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning, but these were fixed after…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This product is not expensive, does the job what I bought it for, and is not time consuming."

"In Hyper-V, I think there are many valuable features, including replication between different hosts, high availability, live migration where I can migrate between one host to another, as well as incremental disaster recovery, which are very good."

"It is an excellent product; it is easy to deploy, stable, and fast, and their support is excellent."

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

"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."

"I could create VM backups from live machines without any issues."

"DR time has been massively reduced."

"Ability to restore to any host."

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup pros

"I like the fact that it gives you the possibility to set the data out of the customer on-premises site and to have an off-site copy in your Cloud Data Center."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."

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

"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."

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

"It hasn't given us any issues so far."

"The most valuable features are the fast replication and recovery of data."

"Generally speaking about Veeam, as a vendor, from a technical support perspective, I've really enjoyed the fact that they have a really high response rate."

Cons

"The scalability of the solution is limited."

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

"I did not manage to import my old configuration, in v4, into v5 just after it what was released, however, I believe this functionality has been improved."

"Stability."

"The recovery speed could be quicker, especially when you only need a file or two."

"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 solution needs multi-platform support as it is currently only available for VMware and Hyper-V. It also lacks support for physical servers and workstations."

"However it has No support for Tape Drive backup – So no Disk-to-tape backup is possible."

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup cons

"I also think the cost factor is a major issue for Veeam because it's a very expensive soluton especially when the client wants support for VMware."

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

"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is. For instance, in the enterprise version, we can only use one accelerator with the cloud provider. It means if I have my Cloud Connect, I cannot connect another site of mine with another cloud connect and use an accelerator of Veeam. They should change this."

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

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

"The solution needs to be more scalable. There should be no reason to set up Veeam Cloud Connect and have 10 servers in order to have a cloud backup. The initial setup could be easier."

"The security of encrypted data could be better."

"The solution could improve the stability."

"There is a free version for two VMs. I would advise to study the deployment environment well, prior to committing to order a license per host."
