Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The 1-Touch recovery feature is helpful for all customers."
"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."
"Commvault provides data protection. Their engine is ransomware-agnostic so ransomware doesn't compromise our backup data. Therefore, we can rely on their data protection to recover and back up our production system."
"Cloud integration."
"The solution is scalable."
"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 ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."
"The compression and deduplication are great for optimizing bandwidth and speed. I don't have to worry about it or think about it, and, because it's a SaaS solution, I don't have to worry about the storage size."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity of operations."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Nutanix environment."
"The product functionality is fairly high-quality."
"It's very reliable. The solution is stable."
"We find the back up feature of this solution to be particularly valuable."
"Combined with RecoverPoint, it offers zero RPO and zero RTO."
"It is a very stable solution...I was involved in VMware SRM's deployment phase two years ago, and it was an easy process."
"I would rate the ease of setting up and configuring my recovery plan in VMware SRM, a ten out of ten, with ten being the easiest."
"The solution requires improvement with its connection and bandwidth."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"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."
"Suppose I am restoring a particular file. If I want to restore the permissions only from that particular folder, that is not possible. I have to restore all the data for that particular folder. If there was an option to just restore the permissions, that would be better."
"The integration of Metallic could improve. It would be a benefit if Metallic could integrate with multiple applications or platforms."
"Training."
"Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage."
"The price, in general, could be lower."
"The primary site lacks adequate equipment, such as power backup and cooling, which can lead to downtime during issues like power outages or overheating."
"VMware SRM lacks certain functions that other platforms have, such as better prioritization of allocation of resources and Boot profiles."
"It would be better if we could get more reporting features in VMware SRM."
"Technical support can take some time to respond."
"The technical support is not quick enough to respond when a user tries to contact them."
"Technical support needs improvement, they are not very responsive."
"Currently, there is a limitation of consolidating only 15 sites per SRM."
