Comparison Results: Commvault Complete Data Protection finishes slightly ahead of Azure Backup in this comparison. Commvault can handle the most complex and most demeaning environments effortlessly. It is easy to use, offers a wide range of workloads, and is very scalable. Azure has some integration issues and limits the amount of backup that can be performed.
"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"The MARS agent makes it easy to use."
"All of the core features are valuable to us."
"The fact that Azure Backup is integrated is one of its biggest advantages."
"You have the flexibility to encrypt your backups and choose the storage capacity you're comfortable paying for."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the native backup capabilities."
"Azure Backup is good because it is entirely cloud-based, which means that you can be 99.9% sure that your backup is safe."
"I like that it's a stable solution and their support is good. I think Microsoft's commercial force is superior."
"This is a very stable product."
"Commvault has support for backing up operating systems and servers."
"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."
"The product's stability is good enough."
"It helped us reduce the number of servers that are required for a stable operation."
"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."
"Commvault helps to ensure broad coverage with the discovery of unprotected workloads. This is important. From the moment that we set it up, we mostly have customers telling us what they need to back up. Then, you can list the machines that are not yet protected. Sometimes, we can see that they are unaware of this, and say, "We didn't know that those servers were not protected yet," or "We did not back them up yet.""
"The most valuable feature of Metallic is its flexibility and user-friendly."
"Ransomware protection is missing in Azure Backup."
"The solution is quite technical. I wouldn't describe it as user friendly. It could be simplified a lot to make it more accessible to the average user."
"Technical support can be slow to respond at times."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"The solution is still in its infancy; it's not a mature product yet."
"The compression ratio of the backup data should be improved."
"They need to improve the frequency of the backup. You can only backup one to three times a day. It would be better to back up continuously throughout the day."
"In the next release, I would like to see the ability to back up to different cloud providers."
"The customer support is not good."
"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."
"The initial setup was complicated."
"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."
"They can always improve the interface design to make it easier. Sometimes, you need to click two or three times to do something. They should look at what tabs are used most and make them more accessible, to cut the time it takes to get to that information."
"You can't change Metallic's retention policies without contacting the Commvault support team."
"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."
