The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily
Key features: * Easy to install and use * Built for virtual environments * Multi-hypervisor support (Hyper-V and VMware) * Offsite backups boosted by WAN acceleration * File and Exchange item level restore * Backup live VMs with no downtime * MS VSS Integration * Cluster shared volumes aware scheduling * Restore to different Hyper-V host or clones * Central management console * Compression and encryption * Supports WS2008 R2, WS2012 and WS2012 R2 * Supports ESXi, vSphere, and vCenter 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. This means that if you require the latest version of a file, it is possible to access it directly from your backup drive without having to rebuild the file from delta files. The delta files are only used if you want to build a previous version of the file; building one delta file at a time for each version as you travel back in time in the reverse direction. This works for both Hyper-V and VMware.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"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."
"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."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"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 ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup pros
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."

"It's simple to use."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."

Cons

"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."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Stability."
"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."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup cons
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"The integration needs improvement."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"There isn't much to improve. They just need to follow the trend or the development of other Linux products. Follow in terms of making the product compatible with new versions of Linux. They just need to include as many versions for Linux as possible."
"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."
More Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"​By implementing the solution at multiple locations, significant cost savings were achieved."
"Altaro had the best prices and ROI in the whole bunch that we evaluated."

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup pricing and cost advice
"The costing is very competitive."
"Price-wise it's good."
"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."
"Veeam Agent is one of the cheapest products in the market."
"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."
"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."
"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."
