We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Veritas Backup Exec 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."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."
"Commvault provides the status of a backup or restore operation."
"Commvault is both very stable and scalable."
"It's great for getting data back."
"Real-time synchronization is a good feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."
"The granularity of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is very good. We've used all of it, recovering data from each of the four systems that we back up with it, and it works very well."
"The solution's stability is excellent."
"Recovery via Active Directory is painless and much easier than the complicated setup procedures of other products."
"The most important feature is the variety of backup applications it supports, including ERP systems and most other programs, such as Microsoft."
"It's quite stable, and so far, we have had no technical issues with Veritas Backup Exec."
"The backup potential of the solution is very good. It's protected us in the past very well and allowed us to get up and running after an attack with minimal loss."
"We are satisfied with the stability of the product."
"It is a simple and flexible solution to work with."
"The dashboard was good. I loved to see the maintenance dashboard every time I logged on. That was my first screen because it always gave me a reminder of how many days before my next renewal."
"The solution is good for small and medium-sized businesses."
"The product is a bit complex."
"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."
"I would like to see more customizable reports. I have reports going right now, but the daily report, for example, shows something like 40 jobs that ran when there are just a few endpoints on there. I'd like to just know if the endpoint was successfully backed up, not how many times. More customizable reports would be nice to have."
"Sometimes, we have a performance issue with the backup speed. So, that has to be rectified and improved."
"The initial setup was complex."
"There are many settings that have to be done on your own. It would benefit from a better interface."
"Commvault should keep and continue to develop the Java GUI."
"Its dashboard could be improved to provide a summarized version of all the jobs instead of having to go through each one of them. We should easily be able to glance at all issues. If I had not gone with the on-premise version, I would have had regular reports with the cloud version. It would be an advantage if they increase the compression rate of the backup. I am keeping it on-prem, so I'll need more disks depending on the policies that I have in the retention period. Its price could also be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage."
"Doesn't include disaster recovery."
"The console of Veritas Backup Exec is complex when compared to other software."
"Veritas Backup Exec should improve by having a user portal that customers can use."
"Expanding is difficult because if I want to add, for example, a terabyte of data, then I have to buy a disk shelf and it will cost me a lot."
"The pricing could be improved."
"It could provide better ease of management than one of its competitors."
"I would like to see this solution improve on faster restoration. Currently, it takes a long time to restore my data."
"The pricing of the solution is a bit high."
