We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Quest Rapid Recovery 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."IntelliSnap for snapshot collection is one of the most efficient and easiest ways to back up large amounts of data."
"All the management is centralized from that CommServe server. You can manage all the clients and all the infrastructure using one interface and one server... Using the Commvault interface, you can customize and generate multiple reports to easily see what is protected and what is not protected in the environment."
"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Hyperscale X are the full responsibilities inclined in conversion with high responsibility rates."
"This product has allowed us to recover data when we've had issues."
"It's great for getting data back."
"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."
"Backup and archive with a single window, with a single backup job. You only need to type "c"."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its ability to back up a physical server to another physical or virtual server."
"It is very easy to use and very easy to manage. The fact that I can easily recover data is valuable. I don't use it much. The only way I have been using it is that sometimes, people ask to recover the data, which is a very easy process. It takes only a few minutes to get in and get the data from the server."
"The compression and deduplication features have helped to save on storage costs."
"Just knowing that the data is easily recoverable is our ROI. It definitely lowers risk."
"The most valuable feature of Quest Rapid Recovery for our organization is the VM recovery functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the disaster recovery process from the data center."
"Probably the point-in-time recovery is most valuable. The other piece that is really nice is that you can mount a whole server at any point in time. So, you can mount the server with all the drives to a Z drive or something like that. It will just mount it all up, and your data is accessible right there on one drive, which is nice."
"The fact that it can take a snapshot of everything on a server and replicate it on another server in real-time is the most valuable feature."
"Improved documentation and user training resources could contribute to a smoother onboarding process and more effective utilization of the platform's capabilities."
"Sometimes, we have a performance issue with the backup speed. So, that has to be rectified and improved."
"You need quite a lot of human resources to maintain a Commvault environment, to keep it operational. Also, it would be nice to if there were an easier way set up some Commvault components."
"You can't change Metallic's retention policies without contacting the Commvault support team."
"The stability of the tool could be improved."
"Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer."
"We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue."
"The main area for improvement is that we sometimes experience negative effects from their updates. If they had a larger test area for their updates, that would help."
"You can only take a snapshot from a virtual environment. It should have the ability to take snapshots from both a virtual and physical environment."
"It's buggy. That's a big problem. We're arranging to get rid of it. We're going to switch to Veeam."
"In case, if there is anything, it would be the speed of the operation to be finished. Even then, I can easily work on the storing function before the operation is finished."
"One area where Quest Rapid Recovery has room for improvement is in the handling of snapshots on Hyper-V."
"Rapid Recovery can only backup the machine or disc, but it can't back up from folders, and files, and things like that."
"For the most part, it is really good in terms of flexibility and choice of recovery methods. What we found lacking was being able to back up virtual volumes that are clustered. We ran out of luck there. There should be an option for backing up clustered virtual volumes."
"I think the self-paced learning and knowledge base can always be improved so that users can self-service without having to contact either a reseller or Quest. I know there are things that I would have been looking for to try and solve. And the only way I could get there was to actually open a ticket rather than go through self-service through the portal."
"It is quite surprising to me that the configuration cannot be backed up automatically, and I think that Rapid Recovery should have an option for scheduled configuration backup."
