We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Microsoft Exchange based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two File Archiving solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"What I find valuable is restoring the complete server. Restoring files is also valuable, but I like restoring the server because you don't have to rebuild a new one."
"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 embedded deduplication engine is really good because we use a Near Line SAS disk as a repository for our backups, and we don't need to pay for another appliance such as a Data Domain or Quantum so that we can have hardware-based deduplication."
"We now have the capability to recover a virtual machine without relying on the NFS system, but instead are able to use certain features provided by Commvault."
"IntelliSnap and file system backups are valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication ratio. It saves most of our space and reduces the network traffic."
"The solution is very stable and offers a good level of performance."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Communication is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"Exchange is easy to use. It also has a built-in calendar for all the stuff I'm supposed to be looking at and doing. Exchange tells you if you have a doctor's appointment or a scheduled call. It also has a place to store and manage your contacts. If I want to add a new contact, it will put in information about that contact stored anywhere within the Microsoft Suite."
"It is a very stable tool...It is a very scalable tool."
"The availability group settings are better, so it has inherent scalability. In 2010, they added several sensible rules."
"For me, the solution is very user-friendly. I've used it a long time and I know where everything is."
"The backup and archiving features are valuable, it is user friendly too."
"The deployment is a plug-and-play process."
"They need to integrate configuration screens or videos (free training courses, webinars, demos) so that engineers with little experience can fully exploit the features that are offered or managed within the license that was acquired, and thus have better quality and completely satisfactory experience."
"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 reporting could be improved because the reports we get from our partner aren't sufficient. It isn't very detailed. I'm not sure if it's an issue with our partner or Metallic. They do a full backup on Monday and incremental backups throughout the week. However, we don't get detailed reports about the size of the incremental backups. The report just tells us whether a backup was successful."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"The only problem is that some of what we snap most of is the VMs. We found about 10% of the VMs that we can't snap because they're too interactive. It actually causes the application to crash."
"There is room for improvement in terms of data security."
"The local support could be improved."
"Commvault HyperScale X could improve by allowing backups of the storage area network (SAN)."
"The only thing that could be improved is the pricing."
"One thing for improvement would be to have an offline version of Exchange available for use if our connection goes down."
"The management of .pst files and archiving need improvement."
"The main problem with Microsoft products is that we're constantly required to install patches and fixes."
"The pricing could be better, and it could have an easier implementation."
"Deployment should become a bit easier, the process is a bit complicated. You have to have done it one or two times before you get it right. The first time you do it, it won't be perfect. There are a lot of complications compared to Gmail For Business, which is a bit easier when it comes to configuration."
"The default storage capacity is too small."
"They could improve on the search function, it takes too much time."
