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 most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed."
"The Command Center is provided from the web interface. You can back up the data for everybody, but also you can give everybody the ability to view and restore their data. For example, if a laptop, machine, or environment is owned by X, then X can look in and see the environment and data that he has backed up. He can see everything that he owns and can manage the environment as he wishes. It gives him an excellent view of his environment and infrastructure. Also, if you are a service provider, you can back up data for multiple companies and give everyone an interface for their environment to manage, backup, and restore data. Commvault has done excellent work in this area."
"Scalability, as well as stability, are a couple of important parts of this solution."
"It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market."
"Commvault gives us a single platform to manage and recover our data. Since we are a research organization, backup is one of the most critical parts of our IT operations and services. Internally, we run it as a managed service, and there is a single console that makes it easy for management to see the performance."
"Backup and archive with a single window, with a single backup job. You only need to type "c"."
"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."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"Our customers are satisfied with the features included in Microsoft Exchange."
"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 email management system is very easy to set up, configure, and use."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Exchange are it is always online and has broad email and file-sharing capabilities."
"It integrates well with calendar, scheduling, etc. It's easy for employees to make meetings and plan their agendas."
"Provides unlimited storage for our mailbox."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"The workflow has room for improvement."
"We do not use Command Center, but we are using CommCell Console. We're navigating and manipulating the entire environment by using CommCell Console, and we are comfortable with it. We didn't find Command Center user-friendly. We found it a bit difficult to use. It decreases the efficiency of the tasks to be performed. It was probably implemented as a centralized application to manage all environments, but it was probably not a good idea. I and my colleagues across the globe are comfortable with using CommCell Console rather than Command Center."
"They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays."
"Support for this product needs to be improved because I have seen a couple of cases where it is taking more than the required time to solve issues."
"I really struggled to configure HyperScale X as there was a lack of detailed documentation."
"This is not a very high standard product."
"When we send a query to Commvault, they take a long time to answer our questions."
"Load balancing is lacking."
"We would prefer to be able to manage the solution on the cloud."
"Some users encounter stability issues. I connect with the support team through my local partner, which takes time."
"An improvement would be to combine Exchange and Teams so that emails, calls, and chats can be integrated into one window."
"Microsoft Exchange's customer support could be faster and more knowledgeable."
"The setup is difficult so could be easier."
"In the version we have, I would like to see better communication between the end device and the Exchange server."
"Microsoft Exchange could improve the archiving of emails and the performance."
