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…

Affordable, highly scalable, and outstanding support

For moving the data for DR, we are using Megaport. We are using a Megaport link between the data centers, so we have a third party for the site-to-site connectivity between the data centers. If such connectivity is available from the Nutanix side, it would be helpful for us. Currently, Nutanix is providing the remote snapshot, and on the data center side, there is one cluster, and on the DR side, there is another cluster. We have synchronized both clusters with the same environment. For connectivity, we are using a Megaport link, and we have to pay a third party for that. If Nutanix can provide such connectivity, it will be helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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."

"I find the solution to be user-friendly and easy to manage and deploy."

"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."

"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."

"Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup's most valuable features include its user-friendly interface and the ability to perform data compression updates, which enhance overall efficiency and effectiveness."

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

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup pros

"It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites."

"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."

"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."

"The solution is stable."

"We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution."

"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."

"It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding."

Cons

"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."

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

"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."

"Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup could be improved in several areas, such as enhancing scalability features and possibly reducing the price."

"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."

"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."

"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup cons

"The solution needs improvement in cost."

"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better."

"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."

"They need better reporting on the environment."

"For moving the data for DR, we are using Megaport. We are using a Megaport link between the data centers, so we have a third party for the site-to-site connectivity between the data centers. If such connectivity is available from the Nutanix side, it would be helpful for us."

"The pricing could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Altaro VM Backup is affordably priced. It is a best value for its price and has almost every feature that an expensive, popular product offers."

"There is a free version for Hosts with 2 VMs."

"The price is great for the utility you get and the licensing has never caused any issues with my company."

"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."

"VMware is a little pricey, but it is a good solution and priced similar to other products."

"The pricing is okay,"

"No other product offers these features for this price. The ROI is great."

"Its yearly maintenance fee is fairly high for me to renew for upgrades and support."

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup pricing and cost advice

"Besides the license, there are additional costs with the network connection. The customer may want a direct connection between the two data centers and that has an extra cost."

"I always want it to be cheaper."

"One-time costs may initially seem high, but they reflect the quality of the service received."

"It is a little bit cheaper than the other products in the market. It is affordable."
