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."It's great for getting data back."
"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."
"Metallic helped me to restore the data within an hour, which is much faster than restoring from Microsoft services."
"The rate of duplication is great."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features is the encryption which helps save you from ransomware. Because the data is already encrypted, it cannot be encrypted again."
"We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it."
"It's the leader in backup and archiving."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity of operations."
"The most valuable feature is the automation, where you press a button and everything fails over seamlessly."
"The simplicity of VMware SRM is one of its most important features. SRM console is straightforward to manage. It offers simplicity in monitoring, managing, and deploying, making it a unique value proposition. Additionally, Nutanix solutions also provide a simple GUI, which helps in operational efficiency."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Nutanix environment."
"It's easy to use and the interface is quite simple."
"The solution is strong when it comes to protection and analytics, with the latter being added later on."

"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"They can always improve the interface design to make it easier. Sometimes, you need to click two or three times to do something. They should look at what tabs are used most and make them more accessible, to cut the time it takes to get to that information."
"The functional integration could be better."
"Sometimes it can cause a bit of downtime during switchovers."
"In general, the drawbacks of VMware SRM, where improvements can be made, stem from the fact that it is an expensive and complex product."

"We would like the patching management function of this product to be improved."
"The solution is on the expensive side."
"Technical support can take some time to respond."
"SRM has to be installed on two separate data centers, so both have to be coordinated very well, which becomes complicated when configuring the software for disaster recovery."
"It has a lot of dependencies on VMware infrastructure, and testing can be complex. Testing often requires extensive approval at the organizational level."
