We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Unitrends based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 has support for backing up operating systems and servers."
"It provides us a good holistic view of everything that we have backed up so far. It also provides us all the recovery points. If we look at an an object that has been backed up, we can tell how many retention copies it has, how far we can go, and recover any data, if needed."
"Its compression and deduplication allow us to store more backups and save storage space. The reporting is great; we are able to obtain critical business reports and infrastructure/usage information very easily."
"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"In terms of the speed of backup, it operates seamlessly, so I'd rate it as excellent... with my daily use and workload, quite honestly I don't even notice when it backs up."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"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."
"Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately."
"I really like the reporting options you get for various email reports."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks."
"The simple and fast restore routine."
"It is a quick and easy way to organize my backups and to keep track of them."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"It is an easy system to use. The support, if needed, is always willing to help."
"With respect to the cloud, they need to offer more integrations."
"The initial setup was complicated."
"They need to improve when it comes to large, video file archiving. They're good, but they have not met my expectations as a customer in this area."
"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 deployment process should be simplified because it is not something that just anybody can do."
"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."
"Getting my guys the right access has a learning curve. Sometimes, it is, "Oh, okay. I think I got it for you." Then, they say, "Oh, nope. I logged in but I can't see this." Then, it is, "Okay, hold on. Give me a second. Let me change that. Okay, it's this one." That learning curve has probably taken a little bit longer than some simpler things. So, Metallic has some granularity, and as a systems administrator, I appreciate that. At the same time, I also realize that I have to learn it."
"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."
"There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
"It would be great to have the job throttle/limit the max number of backups on a single ESXi host."
"There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed."
"The amount of updates which are being released. Updates should be limited to two or three a year, focusing more on quality instead of a rushed bug release."
"No appliance update notifications."
"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
