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."It's very user-friendly. It supports a wide range of workloads. It's quite easy to use, it's very powerful and it's scalable."
"It never fails. Sometimes we miss a backup, but there's always a reason for it, and it's not the fault of Commvault. In the last three years, we've never had to open a ticket with Commvault."
"Commvault has support for backing up operating systems and servers."
"IntelliSnap and file system backups are valuable features."
"It's very stable."
"The embedded deduplication engine is really good because we use a Near Line SAS disk as a repository for our backups, and we don't need to pay for another appliance such as a Data Domain or Quantum so that we can have hardware-based deduplication."
"We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it."
"It's a software-based solution so we just need a license to expand it."
"Microsoft Exchange is comparable to the Outlook client. Both are Microsoft products, and most people are familiar with Outlook. This is why the best feature of Microsoft Exchange is the ease of use. It is more compatible with the client software, especially for Microsoft Outlook. There are a lot of features available that are required for businesses users."
"The product works very well."
"Microsoft has a very good support team."
"It's so much of a part of what I do every day that I don't give it a lot of thought. It just works, for the most part, until it doesn't, in which case I call tech support."
"Now, we manage to serve almost 99% of the information."
"Support is very good."
"Microsoft Exchange's most valuable feature is that it's old-fashioned communication, meaning it's good for people who aren't able to work comfortably in a cloud environment."
"This solution handles all of our primary functionality including email, message delivery, message archiving and calendars."
"The solution needs better Office 365 data backup management."
"It would be a bit unfair to say that it's complex, due to the fact that it supports so many different workloads, however, if there's anything that is a bit of a shortcoming, then it's the fact that there's a bit of complexity involved when dealing with the product."
"The product is a bit complex."
"The reporting is complicated and should be simplified in an upcoming release."
"Our main pain point is that some of our hardware is old. For example, the SSD disks for our application database are slow. It's hard to avoid a slowdown in our environment because the size of our backups is growing every year. If you're growing and don't upgrade the environment, you will see slower backups and restores. You must enhance the environment if you are growing."
"The tool should revise its licensing."
"I would like more communication informing us on what Commvault is doing in the background."
"The most common feedback I get in terms of Commvault is that it can be complex. I always refer my customers back to their own environment. Almost everything that goes into Commvault is a request by a customer. While it can be complex, it can also be very simple. You just need to understand your environment in order to make sure that you really need to turn on that extra feature or thing inside of Commvault. Maybe you don't need those things. It really depends on how simple or complex your environment is, whether you need all of Commvault's features."
"Microsoft Exchange needs to improve how it handles and assigns policy and security."
"The calendar integration in Exchange is not that great. The email features are okay, but it doesn't integrate well with the calendar and appointments, especially Zoom appointments. It integrates fine with Microsoft Teams, but Zoom is a challenge."
"I think that improvements should be made in creating greater abilities for Microsoft Exchange in terms of Reasearch and Development."
"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."
"They keep making all these changes, and our system was down for four or five days. They finally got it up, but there are still lots of quirks."
"Some users encounter stability issues. I connect with the support team through my local partner, which takes time."
"They could continue to improve the consolidation and integration of mailbox services to make them more flexible, easier to deploy, and more manageable."
"There are issues when you add your domain to Microsoft Tenant, and you try to create that. Which is a problem for me."
