We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and Commvault Complete Data Protection based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Commvault Complete Data Protection finishes slightly ahead of Azure Backup in this comparison. Commvault can handle the most complex and most demeaning environments effortlessly. It is easy to use, offers a wide range of workloads, and is very scalable. Azure has some integration issues and limits the amount of backup that can be performed.
"This solution is easy to configure and restore. It is a Microsoft product so is easily compatible with other solutions."
"The fact that Azure Backup is integrated is one of its biggest advantages."
"The backup features are very useful."
"Azure Backup is very simple to use and user-friendly."
"The deployment process is quite easy in Azure."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the native backup capabilities."
"The scalability has been good."
"With a couple of buttons, we can configure a VM for a backup and use the wall service, the storage wall service, pretty seamlessly."
"Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux."
"Metallic helped me to restore the data within an hour, which is much faster than restoring from Microsoft services."
"Metallic is user-friendly, cost-effective, and the technical support is impressive."
"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."
"Among the best features are the BMR (Bare Metal Recovery), Live Sync, and IntelliSnap, which is used for snapshots of hypervisor storage. It's predefined so you only need to enable it and it works. I haven't seen anything like this in other backup tools like Veritas NetBackup or Dell EMC or TSM. We will use snapshotting for all our machines."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."
"Commvault HyperScale X is also a good choice for regulations that require the backup system to be isolated from the rest of the infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature is the ability it gives me to automate backups well and consistently, and to follow up on them as well. It also provides consistent recovery processes. Whenever we have needed to do a restore, it has worked quickly and efficiently."
"We faced some issues synchronizing the information in Azure when the storage was changed."
"The compression ratio of the backup data should be improved."
"I would like to have the option to increase the frequency of the backups. Azure Backup does backups on an hourly basis, but I would prefer it to take backups more often."
"On-prem can be complex to set up but the cloud is simple."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"Azure Backup's licensing model is very challenging because it doesn't give a clear picture."
"Lacks an AI system that would enable easier upgrading of the hardware."
"The support for Office365 backup is atrocious and is something that has to be improved."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."
"The integration of Metallic could improve. It would be a benefit if Metallic could integrate with multiple applications or platforms."
"It takes a lot of steps to implement backups. We have to do a lot of planning to make the solution work properly. It takes some time to create every policy. It's an easy task, but there are many steps. It's not as easy as using Veeam."
"Commvault should keep and continue to develop the Java GUI."
"This is not a very high standard product."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"I really struggled to configure HyperScale X as there was a lack of detailed documentation."
"The retention log feature could be an issue for us and can be improved. The backup schedule can also be better in terms of how you set it up."
