We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and Commvault Cloud 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."I am very pleased with the compression, especially with some of the larger SQL databases that need backup. The amount of compression is impressive."
"We only use BDRSuite to back up two VMs in our current environment. It helps us with maintenance, monitoring, etc. We are satisfied with BDRSuite so far and plan to add a few more VMs in the future, including Citrix VMs and XenServer."
"Their technical support is very good to work with, as they are able to propose alternate solutions to problems that work well for us."
"It backs up our virtual machines with the CBT, Changed Block Tracking."
"It suits our needs, is versatile, and the functionality is there."
"The Vembu BDR product is very intuitive and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the ability, from a console, to manage the different computers to be backed up."
"We invest in the backup so the continuity of the data is not affected."
"It never fails. Sometimes we miss a backup, but there's always a reason for it, and it's not the fault of Commvault. In the last three years, we've never had to open a ticket with Commvault."
"Cloud integration."
"The most valuable feature is sharing data sets like they're in a private cloud. We call it our "private cloud" because we can share anything that is inside our backup set with our colleagues or with other people, and yet, everything is still in Belgrade, in Serbia. It's not somewhere else on cloud servers. Everything is in our environment."
"This solution gives me the full insight without having to use other products, metrics, or reporting tools."
"Restoring is very fast. In testing, I did a restore for a single item from a mailbox. Within a minute, I had the message back in my mailbox. So, it didn't take hours or days. Obviously, there will be a limit. If we suddenly go into DR and have to restore five terabytes of emails for people, then it will take a couple of days, which would be acceptable. For general usage, where we have to do the odd restore, we have never had issues. It happens within minutes."
"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."
"We use the solution for cloud and data backup."
"The Commvault Complete Data Protection interface is straightforward to use."
"The dashboard should more interactive."
"Vembu's website doesn't clearly state that their software is designed for tape libraries, not standalone drives."
"I suggest that the dump of the database have the option to either be backed up to Vembu Cloud or be backed up to all backup sites and not only to default storage."
"I would like to have a different set of products instead of having a single software which does everything."
"It would be good to have a volume licensing discount. We're a managed IT service provider, so we're backing up not just our own systems but all our clients'. In that regard, as we grow, we're putting business through Vembu. There is not any specific partner incentive at all. So that would be nice to see."
"I have not been impressed by the data compression of the backup images. They seem to take up nearly as much space on the backup drive as they do on the server."
"The interface could be better because I have to fumble around to find things. I can't just sit down at the terminal and know exactly what to do. It could be just me, but I have used a number of different backup products, and I found them simpler. However, its features are very good, so I don't mind sacrificing a bit of extra time to do what I need."
"I have had issues with new client registrations. There are frequent connectivity issues to the cloud servers. Multiple times, I have had to prove to support that it wasn’t a problem on my end. It always works out in the end, but it is troubling to have the same issues repeated across different clients. Issues eventually get escalated to the cloud team and are mysteriously resolved with no changes on my end."
"Bare-metal restore needs some work. It's not intuitive and seems to have been an afterthought."
"With so many features, sometimes you cannot find what you are looking for in the interface and you have to dig into books online to find out how to solve an issue."
"The initial setup was complicated."
"Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault."
"The local support could be improved."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"The product does not provide an option to save a copy of data on-premises."
"You can't change Metallic's retention policies without contacting the Commvault support team."
