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 is very simple to use and it is automated."
"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."
"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."
"Quick backups and restores of data are the most valuable features. It is important that it is an easy solution to integrate with the SAML authentication of our tenant, so we can have our users log into the systems and do their own restores, if needed."
"Commvault is both very stable and scalable."
"IntelliSnap for snapshot collection is one of the most efficient and easiest ways to back up large amounts of data."
"We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it."
"There's no impact on the endpoint. It runs in the background and it's something that you install and then forget about."
"The most valuable features of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are you have many possibilities on how to use it. We use it for backups and to create secondary and third copies. It is possible to pick up Kubernetes containers and use a different cloud provider if you need to start backups on the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its ease of use. Additionally, it does backups of all of the things we need, such as OS, files, and databases."
"The solution is scalable."
"Some of the features we find very valuable and use a lot, are retention sets."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"We used to use the solution with tapes a few years ago. We've switched to discs, and it has gotten much faster."
"The support from IBM is very good."
"Virtual snapshots that offer incremental backups."
"Commvault Complete Data Protection would benefit from improving their training resources."
"There are many settings that have to be done on your own. It would benefit from a better interface."
"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."
"I need documentation for Azure backups. One expectation that I have is regarding PDF documentation. When I was trying to browse the documentation, I could not locate that."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"The product does not provide an option to save a copy of data on-premises."
"The navigation of it needs improvement in terms of the UX. The product itself, it works as expected. It's all user experience and user interface improvements that could be made and it could be made a little more consumer-friendly."
"I would like Commvault to have a feature for cybersecurity threats, e.g. securing the target backup repository. Commvault just started testing and releasing this feature, but it needs to be stabilized."
"Rooms for improvement in IBM Spectrum Protect Plus are installation and configuration because those were difficult. They should try their best to improve those areas. In the next release of the product, better implementation and administration are what we're expecting."
"The backup support for IBM Power Virtualization needs to be added."
"It requires much more automation features."
"The Gui interface and usability are not so friendly and easy."
"The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use."
"The solution only supports HyperV and VMware but doesn't support Nutanix."
"I would like integration into where the VMware guys can do their own restores."
"Their first level of support can be improved. Often they are too junior to understand the issues we are having, and it takes too much time to get from them to the next level of support, which is what we actually need."
