We performed a comparison between Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup and Veritas NetBackup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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 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."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."
"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."
"I like that it's enterprise-capable. It can handle multiple operating systems. It can handle multiple database types. It can handle a lot of different backup use cases. It's flexible."
"The backup and restore features work very well."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"The solution offers the hardware and the software at the same time."
"It's a good product, it does what we want it to do."
"I like NetBackup's accelerator feature. You can take a full backup with incremental speed and integrate it with block tracking."
"Great deduplication feature."
"NetBackup is highly stable. We have more than 1,800 policies that run every day."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"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."
"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."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Stability."
"They need to improve their support. In the beginning, their engineers had trouble understanding the issue we were presenting. It took a lot of conversations for them to start troubleshooting the problem."
"This product would be improved with the inclusion of a Sandbox feature like Veeam Sandbox."
"The virtual environment, cloud integration, copy data management features need improvement."
"The solution could have a more clear dashboard about the license and the operation status."
"Data restoration from Veritas NetBackup is quite slow. I would also like documentation that I can share with my technical team."
"The deployment time is longer than it is with other products."
"Veritas NetBackup has been in the backup and recovery market for quite a long time, but somehow, from my own observations and from feedback from end users, its user interface is lagging behind other comparable solutions such as Veeam."
"Updates were not always consistent."
