We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and Commvault Complete Data Protection based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Commvault Complete Data Protection finishes slightly ahead of Azure Backup in this comparison. Commvault can handle the most complex and most demeaning environments effortlessly. It is easy to use, offers a wide range of workloads, and is very scalable. Azure has some integration issues and limits the amount of backup that can be performed.
"The solution helped us use R2 RBO to back up frequently."
"It's easy to deploy."
"I like that it's a stable solution and their support is good. I think Microsoft's commercial force is superior."
"You can select the tiering for your backup and manage your cost."
"The daily backups have become easier since we no longer need to handle large backups. The use of Azure Backup as a service has proven reliable and simplified our daily operations. Previously, we relied on LTO backups for data retention, but after migrating to the cloud and adopting Azure Backup, the delivery process has become smoother."
"The tool has a lot of features."
"Enables immediate recovery and immediate restoration."
"We are happy with this product and have not found any issues while using it."
"The cloud integration is a massive win for us, giving us a single backup service for all of our on-premise and cloud systems."
"Commvault's many features can be explored to get more value from more solutions."
"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."
"Commvault software is a single platform where you can enable whatever you want to use, like endpoint protection. You can enable those licenses on a single platform screen. This is where I see the value ad. This is a single management tool."
"We use the solution for cloud and data backup."
"One of the most valuable features is the encryption which helps save you from ransomware. Because the data is already encrypted, it cannot be encrypted again."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The multi-tenancy is the most valuable feature for us because it's the only software that is fully multi-tenant and that has all the features we need to provide to all our tenants. It provides us with advanced features for MySQL and Oracle, among other platforms"
"Azure Backup is limited to certain workloads. It would be helpful if Microsoft focused on enabling backups for Oracle and other unsupported databases."
"Azure Backup could improve by offering better integration for Oracle databases and enhancing features like granular restore and backup compliance capabilities."
"Azure Backup could improve the backup data copies because they are not immutable."
"It can be further improved by continuously meeting its compliance requirements."
"I once tried restoring a Linux environment, and the size of the Linux VM or the data disk was really huge. It took a really long time to restore the environment and send the data from the storage to the disk. It took around 25 to 30 minutes, which was much longer than I anticipated. They can improve the duration of such restore operations. In the next release, it would also be good if they could reduce the duration for transferring the data from their storage to the actual storage while creating a virtual machine. They can reduce the duration or increase the data transfer rate."
"We would like to see some kind of notification given to the user that a file was not synchronized well or what may have happened."
"To make it a ten, it should have the ability to extend the retention and to perform a copy of the data outside of the subscription - with no additional costs."
"The solution is still in its infancy; it's not a mature product yet."
"The initial setup was complex."
"When we started using Commvault, we felt that there were some technical issues with managing it, but we are comfortable enough with managing it now. There were many issues, like index corrupting, when we first started, but all those issues were resolved by the Commvault tech team."
"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."
"Commvault is complex even if the product has comprehensive solutions and covers pretty much every technology out there. There's no unified way to manage all of the products on one single console."
"The initial installation is straightforward and took approximately two days. However, the process could be more simple."
"I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor."
"In an upcoming release, the reports could be better."
"Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage."
