We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Druva Phoenix based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two SaaS Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The data is well-protected. It doesn't age off until it's copied. That's a big feature right there. When you reach the end of your retention, it does not expire until the secondary copy is completed. That allows you to hold onto data that otherwise would have aged off by retention. I like that feature. It's hard to just delete or lose data using the Commvault platform."
"It's an enterprise product. It's a stable product. We have good support. Almost all databases are in the scope."
"What I find valuable is restoring the complete server. Restoring files is also valuable, but I like restoring the server because you don't have to rebuild a new one."
"It never fails. Sometimes we miss a backup, but there's always a reason for it, and it's not the fault of Commvault. In the last three years, we've never had to open a ticket with Commvault."
"Well documented SQL views and customizable reports, together with scripts and workflows provides ability to automate processes and ensure proper controls are in place."
"The recovery features are useful. It is easy to recover data. If something happens, we can easily recover data. We have faced ransomware issues twice, and we recovered because of Commvault."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Hyperscale X are the full responsibilities inclined in conversion with high responsibility rates."
"Commvault can actually come in and assist you with aspects of the implementation - and they are quite helpful."
"The most valuable features of Druva Phoenix are the simple portal to log in and flexibility."
"I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."
"Once you set it up and you tell it exactly what needs to be backed up, you literally forget about it. It sends you emails and notifications of the current status of the jobs."
"I found the cost-effectiveness of Druva Phoenix to be its most valuable feature, especially when compared to on-premises backup solutions."
"Druva Phoenix is easy to use and easy to start with."
"The solution's breadth and depth of cloud support are good, but could be better. Some cloud features that are common-sense, especially on AWS, are not completely integrated yet in the product. They are a work-in-progress."
"The pricing could be more flexible in terms of licensing."
"I just wanted to compare the features, which are there in EMC NetWorker, which are not available in Commvault. We have things using Networker."
"The speed of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is adequate. Microsoft controls the amount of bandwidth that people have when they're using Azure and the O365 environment... If they could work out something with Microsoft to improve the speed, that would help."
"Its technical support could be better."
"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."
"They should move the CommServe outside of Windows machines and the database should be distributed among servers. It's still a single point of failure."
"The solution needs better Office 365 data backup management."
"Druva Phoenix is optimized to work with x86 platforms, making it unsuitable for backing up non-x86 architectures like AIX. The solution is primarily designed for physical Linux and Windows systems based on the x86 architecture, as well as virtualized Windows and Linux environments. However, if you have an AIX system, it cannot be deployed in the cloud, and therefore, backing it up in the cloud is not a concern."
"Druva Phoenix should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently."
"They were able to give us a very reasonable price considering we were non-for-profit organizations, however, there is always room for improvement on that cost."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix."
