We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and VMware SRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Commvault's Command Center is one of the best solutions out there. You can rely on Commvault solutions for the most complex and most demanding environments."
"There are many valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X giving many possibilities to complete jobs."
"We specialize in Commvault and IntelliSnap. Commvault covers all our customers' backup needs in one system, and they have complete control over their Snapshot backups. Snapshots are important to our customers because of the size of their data sets."
"All workloads can be integrated with Commvault. If we use a new technology, Commvault integrates with it. Commvault is a data management solution with support for building the DR side of things. With Commvault we can rapidly back up and restore any application we add to our environment."
"Commvault is both very stable and scalable."
"The email archiving feature is very smooth and better than others."
"We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it."
"Integration with Active Directory and the Azure platform make it a complete solution."
"The solution is simple to use and has effective automation."
"It's easy to use and the interface is quite simple."
"The replication is the solution's most valuable feature. If we have some issues on the VM in the main site we can migrate it to another site automatically."
"The UI is very user-friendly and testing is easy."
"The solution is scalable."
"VMware SRM replicates the VM from one site to another, and it helps us orchestrate the powering of VMs and DR when the DC goes down."
"If you want to do failover, it works without any problem."
"VMware's tech support gets a nine-out-of-ten. They are responsive and get you a useful reply."
"The HTML interface is a remarkable improvement. However, there are still some features that are not available in that interface that are available in the Java console, but I'm sure that will come with time."
"We do not use Command Center, but we are using CommCell Console. We're navigating and manipulating the entire environment by using CommCell Console, and we are comfortable with it. We didn't find Command Center user-friendly. We found it a bit difficult to use. It decreases the efficiency of the tasks to be performed. It was probably implemented as a centralized application to manage all environments, but it was probably not a good idea. I and my colleagues across the globe are comfortable with using CommCell Console rather than Command Center."
"Commvault should keep and continue to develop the Java GUI."
"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."
"This solution can be complex and difficult to administer because it supports all of the many platforms, so it would help if they could simplify it."
"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."
"We are using a production environment with customer-sensitive data on it. As per our central bank rules and regulations, we can't keep our customer's sensitive data in the cloud."
"When you deploy Complete Data Protection for past services, it's more complicated because you cannot directly back up from the previous service host. We have to build a proxy server, like a middleware, to directly access the past database server. It's complex and hard for beginners to figure out."
"The solution currently has a five-minute RPO, meaning if the VM goes down we can lose up to five minutes of data which is a big deal when it relates to database replication."
"Technical support needs improvement, they are not very responsive."
"An improvement for SRM would be better interface compatibility with other products."
"The technical support is not quick enough to respond when a user tries to contact them."
"VMware SRM needs to improve its pricing."
"Cost is definitely an area where the product could be improved."
"In my opinion, the integration with Peer Persistent Storage could be improved."
"The interface is not easy to use and can be made more user-friendly."
