	Hornetsecurity VM Backup
Considered Both Products	Hornetsecurity Inc. Martin Venter Senior Engineer in Information Technology at Network Configurations (Information Technology & Services, 51-200 employees) Chose Hornetsecurity VM Backup Each of the products got its own strengths. For me, it is all about the customer, and about their requirements. Altaro is very good software, and I can get protected what I need to for our customers, and that is the most important part. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Hornetsecurity VM Backup I have not previously used any other VM backup solution prior to testing Altaro VM Backup. Incentivized Helpful? Eugen Stuerm CEO and Owner in Information Technology at stuerm IT (Computer Hardware, 1-10 employees) Chose Hornetsecurity VM Backup Price for Veeam is higher than for Altaro VM Backup. Incentivized Helpful? Jarret Schwartz Operations Manager in Product Management at Technics Dental Laboratory (Medical Device, 11-50 employees) Chose Hornetsecurity VM Backup The only other competitor I am personally familiar with is Carbonite. I use that for file-level backups throughout my network and it works well but while it does offer backups for virtual machines, I have never found it to be a reliable option. Jobs failed for me regularly for … Incentivized Helpful? Paul Tedder IT Systems Administrator in Information Technology at Fellowship Greenville (Non-Profit Organization Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Hornetsecurity VM Backup While there are other solutions on the market, we have stuck with Altaro because it is such a great value for the dollar. Incentivized Helpful? Stefano Sanna System Administrator in Information Technology at GOP (Legal Services, 501-1000 employees) Chose Hornetsecurity VM Backup When we have looked for a VM backup solution we've tried some other competitors, even to backup just data and not all VM. We've tested Acronis backup that is a complete solution but more expensive and more complicated, we've also tried Nakivo but didn't convince us the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Hornetsecurity VM Backup We backup all VMs with both Altaro and Arcserve. Altaro is very powerful when it's time to back up and restore, but gets corrupted too often. Arcserve assures that we always have a safe copy of the VMs, but the backup and restore process is very slow. Can take days to restore a … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Hornetsecurity VM Backup Veeam seems like another excellent backup solution, and appears to have many similar features to Altaro VM Backup but also seemed more complicated to set up when I tried 5+ years ago. Also, at the time, Veeam's licensing was very confusing where you needed to count CPU's on the … Incentivized Helpful? Calin Popescu Owner at Office Wave Technology Solutions (Computer & Network Security, 1-10 employees) Chose Hornetsecurity VM Backup Altaro brings value to organizations looking at other platforms. It's definitely less expensive overall than Veeam, Datto or Infrascale. The recovery solution for Altaro is very good and reliable. Any organization looking at Veeam should consider Altaro as a potential … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Hornetsecurity VM Backup Lower cost, same reliability, 24 hour support Incentivized Helpful?
