"Altaro VM backup solution"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hornetsecurity VM Backup?

Altaro's single pane of glass dashboard is the real winner here. All installation instances are directly accessible and can easily be verified if a backup occurs. The licensing model does not care how many installations of backup manager software is installed as it is billed on a per virtual machine basis. The creation and setup of backup templates that can apply to all installations and customers saves time and allows the MSP to set a standard backup practice easily and quickly after installation. You have the option of providing your own storage solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hornetsecurity VM Backup?

We would prefer if the Physical backup manager were more in line with how the VM backups operate. Currently, they are viewed through the same dashboard; however, the physical backups have several limitations and cannot be fully configured from the dashboard. Application of the templates similar to how the VM backup operates would be a blessing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Altaro VM Backup for MSPs"

The single cloud management console, single pane of glass view, can do updates for the backup agents from the console. Can run backup jobs from the console etc. Very well designed.

The CMC portal allows us to oversee all our customers and their backup statuses efficiently. Their post support via the live chat/email/remote sessions are very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hornetsecurity VM Backup?

The M365 backup side of things doesn't feel as intuitive as their VM backup, but to the vendor's credit, this is improving, and their support is responsive on these matters/issues when we raise them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable and Easy to Use"
5/5
What do you like best about Hornetsecurity VM Backup?

Ticks all the backup features you need for a reasonable monthly cost. We enjoy the offsite server backup option as this allows us to offer offsite backups to clients as well as the software itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hornetsecurity VM Backup?

We have found that restore times can take quite a while, they always way without fail, but we have found that a simple VM can take around 2-3 hours to restore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplicity is the Best!"
5/5
What do you like best about Hornetsecurity VM Backup?

I have been using Altaro almost since the first day of its creation.

Beyond the ease of management and installation, as many times as I had to use it in hardware failures, it was always there to cover the malfunction.

All of the above combined with the very competitive purchase price is always the first choice I recommend to my company's customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
