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."We use Commvault Command Center for backups and restores and for the creation of new clients. We use it for other functionalities as well. In terms of VMware, I can go directly to the Command Center, enter VMware, and I can search it directly. Command Center is very useful and it can be used for more advanced techniques."
"One of the most valuable features is the encryption which helps save you from ransomware. Because the data is already encrypted, it cannot be encrypted again."
"One valuable feature is unlimited backup. You can back up existing users and folders."
"IntelliSnap for snapshot collection is one of the most efficient and easiest ways to back up large amounts of data."
"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Complete Data Protection are the complete feature sets it provides in one platform. You are able to backup many different types of data, such as virtual machines, servers, cloud, endpoints, Microsoft Office365, and Gmail. The usage of the solution is flexible."
"The product's stability is good enough."
"In the VM, we have Live Recovery, Live Mount, and Live Sync."
"Exchange's interface is good. All of our engineers like it and are accustomed to using it."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange is its ease of use."
"It is user friendly."
"This solution handles all of our primary functionality including email, message delivery, message archiving and calendars."
"It is stable."
"Technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Exchange is the collaboration tools."
"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange is its security."
"The solution must provide deception files across the network."
"Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved and made cheaper."
"What I need is deeper CLI documentation for both QCommand and SQL queries."
"There is room for improvement in its user interface and web console, called Command Center. They are improving it every year so if they continue in that direction, I think it will be a very reliable console."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"They need to integrate configuration screens or videos (free training courses, webinars, demos) so that engineers with little experience can fully exploit the features that are offered or managed within the license that was acquired, and thus have better quality and completely satisfactory experience."
"The platform could be more user-friendly."
"One thing for improvement would be to have an offline version of Exchange available for use if our connection goes down."
"The security features could be improved. There should be a better policy management system."
"The management of .pst files and archiving need improvement."
"The setup is difficult so could be easier."
"The solution could be more secure."
"When an update wants to come, it should just come maybe once or twice rather than having us deal with constant updating."
"From a security point of view, Microsoft should enhance the new features. Technical support could also be better."
