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."Commvault is very simple to use and it is automated."
"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"One-Pass (Archive) DataBase backup (Online Backup and Granular level restore), VM backup and restore."
"The Command Center is provided from the web interface. You can back up the data for everybody, but also you can give everybody the ability to view and restore their data. For example, if a laptop, machine, or environment is owned by X, then X can look in and see the environment and data that he has backed up. He can see everything that he owns and can manage the environment as he wishes. It gives him an excellent view of his environment and infrastructure. Also, if you are a service provider, you can back up data for multiple companies and give everyone an interface for their environment to manage, backup, and restore data. Commvault has done excellent work in this area."
"It's very stable."

"The solution is strong."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"The interface could be improved because it has two different consoles."
"The initial installation is straightforward and took approximately two days. However, the process could be more simple."
"We had some small issues with the reporting, but that was just a matter of fine-tuning the kinds of messages we receive by email. It was a little overwhelming in the initial configuration. So we reviewed our configuration with our partner and customized the reports so that we only get the important reports. I haven't seen any big issues or things that the solution is missing."
"Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault."
"The solution needs better Office 365 data backup management."
"In an upcoming release, the reports could be better."
