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…

Great backup that's user-friendly and very reliable

The initial setup is very straightforward. It is easy. There are no great difficulties when setting up the solution. Even the configuration is simple. The deployment itself takes only a couple of days. It only takes one person to install it. You do not need a big team. We had an engineer manage it. The product does not require any maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."

"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."

"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup pros

"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."

"This solution works really well and it is simple to deploy."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] pros

Cons

"The solution needs multi-platform support as it is currently only available for VMware and Hyper-V."

"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."

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

"The scalability of the solution is limited."

"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."

"Stability."

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

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup cons

"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."

"The solution could improve the stability."

"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."

"Pricing could be improved and I also think archiving could be improved."

"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."

"The security of encrypted data could be better."

"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."

"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."
