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'm a big fan of the reporting. You can build your own reports; it's very customizable. You can have individual reports going to groups of people or individuals. You can have them go out multiple times a day. It's basically a free-for-all as far as reporting goes. If anybody wants a specific job report every day, you can build it, schedule it, and have it go out and never touched it again. It's pretty nice."
"Integration with Active Directory and the Azure platform make it a complete solution."
"The most valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X are all the general functions and the performance."
"The solution is scalable."
"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."
"The solution has the fastest backup and better licensing."
"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."
"We specialize in Commvault and IntelliSnap. Commvault covers all our customers' backup needs in one system, and they have complete control over their Snapshot backups. Snapshots are important to our customers because of the size of their data sets."
"Backup/archive to multiple locations."
"The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs."
"It is fairly stable."
"Iinstant recovery (allows a spin-up of your image as a VM on the appliance)."
"I really like the reporting options you get for various email reports."
"They have great support."
"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."
"They should move the CommServe outside of Windows machines and the database should be distributed among servers. It's still a single point of failure."
"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 deployment process should be simplified because it is not something that just anybody can do."
"The product is a bit complex."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."
"You can't change Metallic's retention policies without contacting the Commvault support team."
"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."
"There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable."
"It would be great to have the job throttle/limit the max number of backups on a single ESXi host."
"There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed."
"The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release."
"I would like to see more storage options for the free version."
"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
