We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Commvault can perform a backup no matter where you are, and it takes a backup every four hours. No matter when you come to the office, it'll take a backup if you're connected to the internet and check the system for online availability."
"IntelliSnap for snapshot collection is one of the most efficient and easiest ways to back up large amounts of data."
"The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console."
"It's easy to configure multiple jobs and media agent locations for each server. We do offsite backups for all of our servers, but we also do onsite hourly backups of them. That has benefited us several times when we had an incident and didn't want to roll back a server an entire day."
"We can use it on-premises and in the cloud."
"The solution is scalable."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery's search utility is its most valuable feature."
"They have a strong development team and are market leaders in the space."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The user interface is good."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"Commvault could make the product more cost-effective on the public cloud side. We are using this solution to back up whatever is still on-prem. We are not using it to back up what is on the public cloud because we have a native backup solution for that, which is provided by the vendor. As our footprint gets bigger, we will continue to evaluate this, but the last time that we did a cost analysis, the cost was not comparable to the solution that public clouds are offering."
"Commvault likes to be ahead of the game when it comes to merging with other platforms, but sometimes it's before they have the solution truly baked in. Office 365 is an example. I feel that my company might be a litmus test for their solution, because we have such a large environment. Some of the promised solutions that we received from Commvault were more like testing solutions. They weren't really validated, meaning they were possibilities. There have been a lot of hot fixes for the solution that we're using right now, more than we expected."
"Persistent binding is a feature that I would like to see in the next release of Commvault."
"Compared to Rubrik, MongoDB Data Protector, and NetBackup, Commvault is better. The licensing team was quite tricky recently because they stopped the unlimited files for that license. Commvault made a bank of 500GB only, a node-based license can take it, which is disappointing. Reporting needs to be more granular. Also, there should be a showback of data being backed up, and the backup cost to share the cost internally with the department."
"The solution requires improvement with its connection and bandwidth."
"The HTML interface is a remarkable improvement. However, there are still some features that are not available in that interface that are available in the Java console, but I'm sure that will come with time."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"We've faced problems backing up our virtual machines."
"The integration needs improvement."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"It could use deduplication features."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
