We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Microsoft Exchange based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two File Archiving solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Quick backups and restores of data are the most valuable features. It is important that it is an easy solution to integrate with the SAML authentication of our tenant, so we can have our users log into the systems and do their own restores, if needed."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Commvault is both very stable and scalable."
"The rate of duplication is great."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Hyperscale X are the full responsibilities inclined in conversion with high responsibility rates."
"What I find valuable is restoring the complete server. Restoring files is also valuable, but I like restoring the server because you don't have to rebuild a new one."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"I can collect the target data, then we connect it to Commvault. There is not another system that can connect to our target database or target storage. This is very important for us, because there is the threat of malware right now. This can protect not only the product, but also the backup data from outside threats."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Internal communication stability within Exchange is ensured by the stability of the internal network which is guaranteed by default."
"Exchange is very scalable, it's one of the most important things about this software."
"It is easy to use and we can allow many users because now our users are scattered They over a wide area. We can use it from anywhere. That is the main benefit for us."
"The product can scale."
"It has a feature that allows you to retain an email and recover it as an administrator. When you activate this feature, even if a user deletes an email, the email is still in the system, and we can retrieve it as an administrator. It is a very useful function. We turn this feature on for some of the mailboxes because we need to keep all the records. I like the way emails are classified in this solution. It makes it really easy to take a look at the most important messages. This is a really good functionality. Some of the emails directly exchanged with you are marked as important and shown in one tab, and everything else is in another tab. We usually don't have any issue with Exchange. It can be integrated with different solutions."
"Customers can benefit from this new pricing model because it's expensive and now with the subscription they can budget for this."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange is its security."
"Could be easier to implement."
"Bare-metal restore needs some work. It's not intuitive and seems to have been an afterthought."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."
"Reduce the complexity for better understanding of the reports. There are a lot of variables in which you can get confused while elaborating on reports."
"It would be nice to have just one email report come in, then we can filter out failures. If everything is backed up, we really don't need to see the report. If it is in a single report. A simpler customised report would be good."
"There is room for improvement in the Knowledge Base and error reporting. I would like to see best practices in the Knowledge Base, and have the ability to diagnose errors without contacting support."
"The most common feedback I get in terms of Commvault is that it can be complex. I always refer my customers back to their own environment. Almost everything that goes into Commvault is a request by a customer. While it can be complex, it can also be very simple. You just need to understand your environment in order to make sure that you really need to turn on that extra feature or thing inside of Commvault. Maybe you don't need those things. It really depends on how simple or complex your environment is, whether you need all of Commvault's features."
"The Java interface is not great. The Command Center interface is far better and it looks nicer, but it doesn't have all the powerful features available in the CommServe/Java console. The place to improve the product is on the management interface level."
"Microsoft Exchange could improve by being more secure. We are always looking to have more security."
"They could continue to improve the consolidation and integration of mailbox services to make them more flexible, easier to deploy, and more manageable."
"Nothing is perfect, that's why I am giving Microsoft Exchange a nine."
"They keep making all these changes, and our system was down for four or five days. They finally got it up, but there are still lots of quirks."
"The price of Microsoft Exchange could improve, it is priced high."
"In our current situation, the disappearance of sanctions would be a tangible improvement. We are basically cut off from technical support and it's very difficult to obtain any updates."
"I think that improvements should be made in creating greater abilities for Microsoft Exchange in terms of Reasearch and Development."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange improve their documentation."
