Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Cloud integration."
"What I found most valuable in Commvault Complete Data Protection is its deduplication technique, mainly because the solution has the highest deduplication ratio, giving you higher storage capacity."
"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.""
"We now have the capability to recover a virtual machine without relying on the NFS system, but instead are able to use certain features provided by Commvault."
"We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it."
"When an interruption takes place due to an incident, the signaling and notification are very extensive."
"The product alerts the security team about threats."
"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."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"The solution's most valuable features are networker and continuous data protection."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"We don't need to manage different devices."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"Dell PowerProtect is stable and scalable."
"We are using a production environment with customer-sensitive data on it. As per our central bank rules and regulations, we can't keep our customer's sensitive data in the cloud."
"I really struggled to configure HyperScale X as there was a lack of detailed documentation."
"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."
"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"The setup is not that straightforward or easy. Even the documentation is not generic or public like other products. You have to be a partner or you have to have a specific account and download it from the vendor themselves."
"There is room for improvement in terms of data security."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"Managing the product is a little bit complicated."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
