We performed a comparison between AWS Backup and Commvault Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud."
"When I was using an on-premises backup, there was an external hard drive or something like that. I had a backup server, but I had a few problems related to transfer when I had to restore something that I have deleted. I had to wait for after-office hours to do something like that, but now I just have to send a mail. Within one hour, I have my restored file."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution also provides me with a complete view of our data. I write scripts to report information from the Command Center daily. I report it in HTML and have the status of the last day for the whole environment."
"The user interface is very easy to navigate."
"It's easy to configure multiple jobs and media agent locations for each server. We do offsite backups for all of our servers, but we also do onsite hourly backups of them. That has benefited us several times when we had an incident and didn't want to roll back a server an entire day."
"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."
"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 most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed."
"The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console."
"If AWS could also add some hybrid cloud features to AWS Backup, that would be a significant improvement. For example, currently, AWS Backup only backs up to the S3 and Amazon Cloud, and you can only restore from the Amazon Cloud only. However, some people have hybrid environments. They have some workloads on-premises and some workloads in the cloud."
"For additional functionalities, it should be more intelligent, like more AI-capabilities."
"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"This backup tool does the full backup of the entire snapshot server. I would like to have the option to not do the full server backup."
"The notifications on the backup and on the mobile app could be more useful. If they could arrange notes or notifications properly and offer services for managing it in our region, it would be helpful for us."
"The initial setup is rather complex, especially when switching versions."
"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."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."
"Commvault is complex even if the product has comprehensive solutions and covers pretty much every technology out there. There's no unified way to manage all of the products on one single console."
"Bare-metal restore needs some work. It's not intuitive and seems to have been an afterthought."
"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."
"The customer support is not good."
