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…

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

"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."

"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."

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

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

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup pros

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

"Cloud Connect's best features are its simplicity, flexibility, and constantly-expanding options."

"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've found flexibility to be the most valuable feature, and I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."

"Veeam Backup and Replication is still one of the most cost-effective backup solutions on the market and offers very good value for money."

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

Cons

"It would be good to if they would expand the functionality to be able to backup normal servers without Hyper-V."

"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."

"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."

"Sometimes, due to disk space and VSS, we have experienced stability issues."

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

"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."

"Being able to backup the actual host machine would be an improvement for us."

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

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup cons

"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."

"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."

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

"We need the solution to offer IT storage."

"I think Veeam Cloud Connect could be more stable, scalable, and secure. I think better pricing is needed."

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

"The security of encrypted data could be better."

"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 pricing is okay,"

"By implementing the solution at multiple locations, significant cost savings were achieved."

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