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."

"Ability to restore to any host."

"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 solution is stable."

"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 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 product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."

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

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup pros

"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 initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."

"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 user interface is good."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."

"It is scalable."

More Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] pros

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."

"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."

"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."

"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."

"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."

"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."

"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."

"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."

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup cons

"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."

"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."

"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."

"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."

"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."

"The integration needs improvement."

"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."

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."

"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."

"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."

"Its yearly maintenance fee is fairly high for me to renew for upgrades and support."

"The price is great for the utility you get and the licensing has never caused any issues with my company."

"No other product offers these features for this price. The ROI is great."

"VMware is a little pricey, but it is a good solution and priced similar to other products."

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup pricing and cost advice

"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."

"The costing is very competitive."

"Licensing costs are monthly."

"Price-wise it's good."

"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."

"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."
