We performed a comparison between Commvault Distributed Storage [EOL] and VMware vSAN based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Storage (SDS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Some customers have chosen this solution for its features, benefits, and user-friendly interface."
"Commvault is a user-friendly tool, so most people are happy to adopt this solution."
"We had very good access to technical support."
"I have found that the multi-homing feature is very valuable in VMware vSAN. It is an easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable thing about vSAN is that all of its features have been working well for us for the past two years. We haven't had an issue with them."
"We can scale it very easily for a test environment. We were able to segment our DMZ so it wasn't connected to anything, which we really liked."
"The most valuable features are productivity and data storage."
"I like the scalability and the fact that it reduces your total cost for storage over several years."
"vSAN has just one datastore. so customers do not need to think where to put their VMs, how to design the physical disk RAID, the LUN size, the LUN mapping, etc. when they use NetApp/EMC/HDS or other storage systems."
"It is more stable now than it was before. It's not like it was in the first year. Now it is stable, and we trust it more."
"The solution does not support some cloud SaaS applications and has room for improvement with better integration to the storage array."
"NAS backups and BNP protocol backups could be improved. We require some more advanced features. I would also like some features that would enable us to deploy faster, like an orchestrator or something."
"If the support could be provided more quickly, it would be very helpful."
"There is a room for improvement on the latest version of compatibility with the VMware product, especially for vSAN and with other vendors on their motherboards and driver configurations."
"Based on my testing, I would like to expand deduplication to include hybrid deployments and not just for all-flash deployments."
"The main problem we had was hardware compatibility, finding the right hardware that was certified."
"When we talk about improvements for vSAN, there is some way to go from a at least stability perspective. Adding all these new features is nice, but we are now at the level that most of the features you need in production are there."
"Its installation should be easier, and its price should be cheaper. It would be good for the product if they can include the data locality feature."
"The platform's cost affects the business. This particular area needs improvement."
"I would like to see more comprehensive lifecycle management. The current path and process for upgrading or updating the firmware, as well as the storage controller software to interact with that firmware, is fairly manual and not very well documented. A little more time and effort spent on the documentation of the lifecycle management for vSan would be really great."
