We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and IBM Spectrum Protect Plus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can go from one page to another page, from office backups to VM backups, or applications like secret backups. So everything can be configured or restored from a single pin."
"Security measures, including encryption and threat detection, contribute significantly to data protection, safeguarding against unauthorized access and cyber threats."
"The most valuable feature is Commvault's coverage. It has wide coverage to back up every data center environment. The product can back up OpenStack, OpenShift, and competitive solutions don't have this feature. Commvault can handle backing up any virtual workload or enterprise application."
"It never fails. Sometimes we miss a backup, but there's always a reason for it, and it's not the fault of Commvault. In the last three years, we've never had to open a ticket with Commvault."
"The rate of duplication is great."
"It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its ease of use. Additionally, it does backups of all of the things we need, such as OS, files, and databases."
"A full-featured data protection solution that is reliable and stable."
"If the system were to go down, we needed to make sure that the system could be recovered and available as soon as possible. Spectrum Protect provides you access to directly bind the backup volume to the server and make the system available instead of restoring it and copying the system."
"This solution is very stable and has good support available online."
"The initial setup of IBM Protect Plus is simple and not complex."
"The API is very good."
"The solution is scalable."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"I just wanted to compare the features, which are there in EMC NetWorker, which are not available in Commvault. We have things using Networker."
"The speed of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is adequate. Microsoft controls the amount of bandwidth that people have when they're using Azure and the O365 environment... If they could work out something with Microsoft to improve the speed, that would help."
"Commvault likes to be ahead of the game when it comes to merging with other platforms, but sometimes it's before they have the solution truly baked in. Office 365 is an example. I feel that my company might be a litmus test for their solution, because we have such a large environment. Some of the promised solutions that we received from Commvault were more like testing solutions. They weren't really validated, meaning they were possibilities. There have been a lot of hot fixes for the solution that we're using right now, more than we expected."
"They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays."
"What I need is deeper CLI documentation for both QCommand and SQL queries."
"With respect to the cloud, they need to offer more integrations."
"Endpoint backup."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"The solution only supports HyperV and VMware but doesn't support Nutanix."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve by adding SAP Rena."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve security."
"The security must be improved."
"I would like to see continuous data protection (CDP). If there is machine failure, you don't have to go to the backup copy that you took 12 hours ago. You can actually go back to the backup copy made half an hour ago. That is, it would be good to have certain-point-in-time recovery."
"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"The software's technical support could improve its response time for different time zones."
