Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"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."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"It is affordable."
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"The main advantage from our perspective is the ability to plug this solution into an existing infrastructure on a cheap device and point the backup at the server targets and configure the backup options in a simple menu; linking to a cheap cloud resource for a simple solution for off-site storage."
"This product has helped to centralize backups and made it easy to recover data."
"Backups are working smoothly with Nakivo Backup."
"The solution offers reliable copying and fast recovery."
"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"Nakivo's reporting features have helped a lot. They give my boss high visibility into what's going on, which is crucial because we had a data breach in the past where we lost about 12 years of data. That's why we bought several appliances, and we replicate the same backup twice a day to three different depositories."
 

Cons

"Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup could be improved in several areas, such as enhancing scalability features and possibly reducing the price."
"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."
"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."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Stability."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"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."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
"The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes."
"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
"We would like to back up File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi."
"I would like to have the option of creating a subfolder per job in the backup repository because we had an issue where some files were corrupted and we lost the backup of the majority of the VMs."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
"In the press releases, it would be useful to make sure that the manual space reclaim procedure does not have to be performed but that it happens automatically, thus optimizing the use of space."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The pricing is okay,"
"​By implementing the solution at multiple locations, significant cost savings were achieved."
"VMware is a little pricey, but it is a good solution and priced similar to other products."
"Its yearly maintenance fee is fairly high for me to renew for upgrades and support."
"Altaro had the best prices and ROI in the whole bunch that we evaluated."
"The price is great for the utility you get and the licensing has never caused any issues with my company."
"It's really cheap, and our company saves a significant amount of money on IT backup solutions per year."
"The solution's pricing is adequate for its features and quality."
"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."
"The licensing model is very affordable compared to competitors, with a good quality-to-cost ratio, and the software is quite simple and fast to setup."
"We use a perpetual license that is priced well."
"Cost is very appropriate for SMEs."
"Nakivo Backup & Replication also have another great value, which is that it is one of the lowest prices on the market."
