Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery as a Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Commvault provides the status of a backup or restore operation."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"There's no impact on the endpoint. It runs in the background and it's something that you install and then forget about."
"The 1-Touch recovery feature is helpful for all customers."
"They have a strong development team and are market leaders in the space."
"Commvault has support for backing up operating systems and servers."
"We use Commvault Command Center for backups and restores and for the creation of new clients. We use it for other functionalities as well. In terms of VMware, I can go directly to the Command Center, enter VMware, and I can search it directly. Command Center is very useful and it can be used for more advanced techniques."
"With the use of the cloud, the solution is easy to learn."
"The most valuable features are the backup and disaster recovery services."
"Setting up VMs can be done quickly. It is easy to use."
"The initial setup is easy depending on the environment you are working with."
"Technical support is very proactive and helpful."
"We feel the ability to move virtual machines while they are still running to be the most valuable feature."
"Its technical support could be better."
"There are two ways to use it and I prefer the web-based one over the app. I wish they were a little bit more matched in what they offer because the features aren't as available in the web-based interface as they are in the app."
"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."
"They can improve the VMware recovery and VMware backup. There is an improvement area on the VMware infrastructure. They can make available what they call a VSA proxy. They can have an appliance-type setup to deploy VSA backups and help recover quicker. They can have an appliance ready. Instead of having to have a server dedicated to that and installing software on a server, they can just provide an actual appliance for that."
"Setup is complex."
"The product is expensive."
"I would like more communication informing us on what Commvault is doing in the background."
"Our main pain point is that some of our hardware is old. For example, the SSD disks for our application database are slow. It's hard to avoid a slowdown in our environment because the size of our backups is growing every year. If you're growing and don't upgrade the environment, you will see slower backups and restores. You must enhance the environment if you are growing."
"It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution."
"VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery could improve by enhancing the network bandwidth from the storage."
"The automation should be simplified or improved."
"The improvements should be as per customer requirements."
"When starting up the replication and converting it to the virtual machine I had some problems. I had to start the process again and that is inconvenient."
