Offers a comprehensive feature set offered at a competitive price
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. This ensures continuity even in the event of hardware failure, with the option to restore entire machines seamlessly without disrupting connectivity or network configurations.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup pros
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"The solution is very simple. Management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
More Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] pros
 

Cons

"Stability."
"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."
"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."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup cons
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"The integration needs improvement."
"Technical support could be improved."
More Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] cons
 

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."
"Its yearly maintenance fee is fairly high for me to renew for upgrades and support."
"​By implementing the solution at multiple locations, significant cost savings were achieved."
"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,"
"Altaro had the best prices and ROI in the whole bunch that we evaluated."
"VMware is a little pricey, but it is a good solution and priced similar to other products."
"The price is great for the utility you get and the licensing has never caused any issues with my company."
More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup pricing and cost advice
"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."
"Licensing costs are monthly."
"The costing is very competitive."
"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."
"Price-wise it's good."
"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."
