We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Microsoft Exchange based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two File Archiving solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The 1-Touch recovery feature is helpful for all customers."
"The solution provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover our data across on-premise locations. Some of the guys have been using it to move a virtual machine from VMware to the Microsoft solution, Hyper-V. They back it up and then they restore to the different virtual machine provider, and that works great."
"HyperScale X is really user-friendly and has a lot of features. It's also cheaper, faster, and more stable than its competitors."
"We have VMware, Hyper-V, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL. We have a lot of different systems, and all of them are supported under one licensing agreement. That's one of the benefits."
"It has significantly reduced the amount of manual work required to manage our backup operations. We're going from an on-prem to a non-on-prem, we're all doing nonsolutions. So we really can't compare it against anything else."
"We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it."
"What I found most valuable in Commvault Complete Data Protection is its deduplication technique, mainly because the solution has the highest deduplication ratio, giving you higher storage capacity."
"Commvault can actually come in and assist you with aspects of the implementation - and they are quite helpful."
"It is easy to use and we can allow many users because now our users are scattered They over a wide area. We can use it from anywhere. That is the main benefit for us."
"The interface is user-friendly."
"Exchange's best feature is single sign-on access using the Microsoft Identity framework."
"It integrates well with calendar, scheduling, etc. It's easy for employees to make meetings and plan their agendas."
"The most valuable features are that you can exchange information, tasks, attachments, and enhance the process in a short amount of time."
"For me, the solution is very user-friendly. I've used it a long time and I know where everything is."
"I find the Outlook client very valuable. It allows me to connect to the Exchange Server and send and receive emails easily. The graphical interface is user-friendly and has a good look and feel."
"The initial setup is easy."
"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."
"I would like more communication informing us on what Commvault is doing in the background."
"Commvault HyperScale X could improve by allowing backups of the storage area network (SAN)."
"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"The initial setup was complex."
"When you deploy Complete Data Protection for past services, it's more complicated because you cannot directly back up from the previous service host. We have to build a proxy server, like a middleware, to directly access the past database server. It's complex and hard for beginners to figure out."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"The security features could be improved. There should be a better policy management system."
"Its search functionality can be better. It is currently not really easy. It has the capability to search your mailbox, but it has some restrictions in terms of the number of results that you can retrieve. You can only get around 250 results. If you want to do a deeper search, you need to use different functionalities of the product. The policy that we have for handling emails is that we do not delete emails at all. If I insert the text that I am searching for in the Search field, it only retrieves a limited number of emails. To search for an email from 2010, I need to use different search functions to find what I am looking for. Microsoft can also improve its licensing for its products. Microsoft's licensing is not very easy to understand. It can sometimes be really complex to understand what you need to have in order to comply with Microsoft licensing."
"The support needs to be more knowledgeable."
"It is important to have the updated version for scalability."
"Microsoft Exchange could improve the price."
"The main problem with Microsoft products is that we're constantly required to install patches and fixes."
"The licensing model could be improved."
"Sometimes we don't get support quickly enough - for example, if there's some global hacker attack, we don't get served as quickly. The skills of the technical staff can also vary, and Microsoft could perhaps improve their training."
