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."This solution gives me the full insight without having to use other products, metrics, or reporting tools."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed."
"The granularity of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is very good. We've used all of it, recovering data from each of the four systems that we back up with it, and it works very well."
"It helped us reduce the number of servers that are required for a stable operation."
"Commvault has support for backing up operating systems and servers."
"The data is well-protected. It doesn't age off until it's copied. That's a big feature right there. When you reach the end of your retention, it does not expire until the secondary copy is completed. That allows you to hold onto data that otherwise would have aged off by retention. I like that feature. It's hard to just delete or lose data using the Commvault platform."
"Cloud integration."
"It's an enterprise product. It's a stable product. We have good support. Almost all databases are in the scope."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."
"The solution allows us to be able to backup and exchange directly, to backup Microsoft exchange."
"The installation was simple and provided an easy way to install even on Unix servers. It has excellent features like deduplication."
"It's user-friendly and not overly complicated to configure."
"The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"It works excellently only with Oracle."
"The initial setup is rather complex, especially when switching versions."
"Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault."
"Just to keep it running is time-consuming. There are five people on my team. Commvault was supposed to be one of the less time-consuming solutions, but in reality it takes 60 percent of our time just to keep it running, and that's not even fine-tuning it; that's just to keep it running."
"The functional integration could be better."
"With respect to the cloud, they need to offer more integrations."
"There is room for improvement in the data center application running on the cloud for the platform."
"The solution's breadth and depth of cloud support are good, but could be better. Some cloud features that are common-sense, especially on AWS, are not completely integrated yet in the product. They are a work-in-progress."
"Data center backup must be improved."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"The solution is not intuitive enough. I think they should work on the user experience and the graphical interface. These can be a lot better."
"The technical support was very slow."
"We're not satisfied with the robustness and stability of the software since Micro Focus took it in-house. The GUI is one thing they could improve. It's still a bit archaic. Data Protector needs a more functional, user-friendly GUI."
"They should design the solution so that it is much easier for deployment and make the UI easy to use."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"The new backup systems are using new mechanisms for the recovery phases; for example, VM, recovery and testing the backup before recovering it. These features are not available in Data Protector."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
