We performed a comparison between Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup and NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Altaro VM Backup is its ability to backup and restore various types of data, including Active Directory, application servers, and SQL Server databases."
"Unified Manager, System Manager, and Cloud Manager are all GUI-based. It's easy for somebody who has not been exposed to this for years to pick it up and work with it."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We started with a small pilot and we then moved to production with no downtime at all."
"If anything happens, their technical support will come onsite and fix it."
"NetApp's XCP Migration Tool... was pretty awesome. It replicated the data faster than any other tool that I've seen. That was a big help."
"This solution has helped us because it is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of file storage."
"It's very easy to set up, and within 40 minutes, you can apply storage notes in Azure."
"There is unified storage, which provides flexibility. It is set up perfectly for performance and provisioning. We are able to monitor everything using a separate application. It provides error and critical warnings that allow us to take immediate action through ONTAP. We are able to manage everything, log a case, and follow up with the support team, who can fix it. That is how it is unified."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"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."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"The cost needs improvement."
"Not a perfect ten because it's not very efficient with upgrades and management."
"The only issue we had lately was that outside our VPC we could not reach the virtual IP, the floating IP. I heard that they have fixed that..."
"I would like to see more information about Cloud Volumes ONTAP using Google Cloud Platform on NetApp's website."
"It definitely needs improvement with respect to clustering and with respect to more collaborative integrations with Azure. Right now, we have very limited functionalities with Azure, except for storage. If CVO could be integrated with Azure that would help. When there is any sort of maintenance happening in the cloud, it disrupts the service in Cloud Volumes ONTAP."
"Cloud Volumes ONTAP's interface could use an overhaul. Sometimes you have to dig around in Cloud Manager a little bit to find certain things. The layout could be more intuitive."
"I would like to have more management tools. They are difficult to work with, so I would like them to be a bit more user-friendly."
"I'm very happy with the solution, the only thing that needs improvement is the web services API. It could be a little bit more straightforward. That's my only issue with it. It can get pretty complex."
