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 expanse of the decoys that they have is valuable. They cover everything on the corporate side that you would think of, such as Windows, Linux, and even applications like SAP. They also go into the OT environment and emulate OT devices as well."
"The granularity of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is very good. We've used all of it, recovering data from each of the four systems that we back up with it, and it works very well."
"The solution includes the best compatibility metrics for integration and they are managed by Google support."
"The email archiving feature is very smooth and better than others."
"Commvault has support for backing up operating systems and servers."
"Metallic helped me to restore the data within an hour, which is much faster than restoring from Microsoft services."
"Commvault's Command Center is one of the best solutions out there. You can rely on Commvault solutions for the most complex and most demanding environments."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed."
"Communication is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The product can scale."
"The most valuable features are that you can exchange information, tasks, attachments, and enhance the process in a short amount of time."
"Exchange's interface is good. All of our engineers like it and are accustomed to using it."
"Microsoft Exchange is highly stable for the end-user systems. When we move to Office 365, it will be even more stable even. There's less administration required and it's very robust. We are really quite happy in using that."
"The initial setup was straightforward and fast."
"The search tools are good."
"Exchange is a robust system that is well suited for an enterprise environment. It's always up, and we hardly face any technical issues. Exchange has a web interface and integrates perfectly with Microsoft Outlook. This web interface can be easily used to change the passwords from the domain controllers."
"Commvault is complex even if the product has comprehensive solutions and covers pretty much every technology out there. There's no unified way to manage all of the products on one single console."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"There are many settings that have to be done on your own. It would benefit from a better interface."
"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."
"If I were to ask them to work on something, it would be the fidelity of the alerts that occur. They should tell me if it is a real event or not. It is easy for it to identify that something hit it but give me more information. They can build AI into the engine so that I get better output from an alert to tell me if I should really be interested in that or not."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."
"The pricing of the solution can be improved and made cheaper."
"The setup was a little bit difficult for a non-IT person like me. My OneDrive is protected by multifactor authentication, and to get the backup to begin behind that multifactor authentication took a little bit of almost customized support, even though I was following the instructions and the videos. That process could have been easier."
"It's not always the finest solution in terms of integration with products that are not from Microsoft. It integrates very well with Microsoft products but not with third-party products."
"It is important to have the updated version for scalability."
"The default storage capacity is too small."
"From a security point of view, Microsoft should enhance the new features. Technical support could also be better."
"We would prefer to be able to manage the solution on the cloud."
"The pricing could be better, and it could have an easier implementation."
"In our current situation, the disappearance of sanctions would be a tangible improvement. We are basically cut off from technical support and it's very difficult to obtain any updates."
"There is a lot of spam email that comes in, so they should add functionality to help fix this problem."
