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."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."
"There are many valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X giving many possibilities to complete jobs."
"We recommend this product for people who are running the Oracle Virtualization Manager."
"It's very easy to set up the storage across all platforms. This allows us to be dynamic and change on-the-fly."
"It's an enterprise product. It's a stable product. We have good support. Almost all databases are in the scope."
"Among the best features are the BMR (Bare Metal Recovery), Live Sync, and IntelliSnap, which is used for snapshots of hypervisor storage. It's predefined so you only need to enable it and it works. I haven't seen anything like this in other backup tools like Veritas NetBackup or Dell EMC or TSM. We will use snapshotting for all our machines."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Hyperscale X are the full responsibilities inclined in conversion with high responsibility rates."
"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 is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate."
"What I find valuable about Dell PowerProtect IDPA is its stability and strong performance."
"Instead of four or five tools, consisting of backup software, storage where the backup resides, and a separate system for reporting and central monitoring, they all now come in the virtual edition for IDP."
"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"One issue we face is the complexity of the console. That could be improved on. It takes users time to get familiar with Commvault. On average, it takes our customers between one and three months to learn it. The console and the way you configure Commvault have very advanced settings. It takes time to understand how it works."
"They reply to the support portal weekly, but there are some delays."
"With so many features, sometimes you cannot find what you are looking for in the interface and you have to dig into books online to find out how to solve an issue."
"The only problem is that some of what we snap most of is the VMs. We found about 10% of the VMs that we can't snap because they're too interactive. It actually causes the application to crash."
"I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor."
"There are two ways to use it and I prefer the web-based one over the app. I wish they were a little bit more matched in what they offer because the features aren't as available in the web-based interface as they are in the app."
"Endpoint backup."
"The two-factor authentication is missing from Dell products."
"Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
