We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud, Veeam Backup & Replication, and Veritas Backup Exec based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Commvault has a unique administration platform with more features than its competitors."
"Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux."
"The solution provides us with a single platform to move, manage, and recover our data across on-premise locations. Some of the guys have been using it to move a virtual machine from VMware to the Microsoft solution, Hyper-V. They back it up and then they restore to the different virtual machine provider, and that works great."
"This solution gives me the full insight without having to use other products, metrics, or reporting tools."
"The convenience of backing up and restoring simultaneously is very valuable."
"It's a software-based solution so we just need a license to expand it."
"It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"The setup was straightforward Veeam Backup Replication. NetBackup is a larger solution and takes more time to implement but Veeam Backup Replication takes approximately 40 days."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its back up and recovery. It is a simplified backup because you can do both databases - VM and HyperV. It's a faster backup than the conventional methods because it takes up the bare metal."
"It is a powerful software for communicating with the storage and for redundancy."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly."
"The ability of instant VM recovery, which means starting the backup VM and getting it online while the recovery is still happening is the most valuable feature."
"The solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam is that the restoration is easy and reliable."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the new CDP features. It is very popular for my customer's needs."
"Good open file option feature, SQL agent, and EM agent."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"The most valuable feature of Veritas Backup Exec is the ease of use."
"Backup Exec 2012 R2 is a very good product for the Windows file system and SQL backups. It is very user-friendly, but the next version Backup Exec 2014 that is released and the other next versions of Backup Exec product is not so friendly."
"The solution is very scalable. Whenever we grew, it was just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy to grow."
"The usability and interface of the solution are good."
"We are happy with Veritas Backup Exec's stability."
"The interface, dashboard, and pricing are all perfect."
"In an upcoming release, the reports could be better."
"There is room for improvement in the data center application running on the cloud for the platform."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."
"We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue."
"The Java interface is not great. The Command Center interface is far better and it looks nicer, but it doesn't have all the powerful features available in the CommServe/Java console. The place to improve the product is on the management interface level."
"I would like to see more customizable reports. I have reports going right now, but the daily report, for example, shows something like 40 jobs that ran when there are just a few endpoints on there. I'd like to just know if the endpoint was successfully backed up, not how many times. More customizable reports would be nice to have."
"There is room for improvement in the Knowledge Base and error reporting. I would like to see best practices in the Knowledge Base, and have the ability to diagnose errors without contacting support."
"They can always improve the interface design to make it easier. Sometimes, you need to click two or three times to do something. They should look at what tabs are used most and make them more accessible, to cut the time it takes to get to that information."
"We would like to see support for some additional storage systems."
"When you have some small issues, you should be able to go through it by yourself and solve the issue instead of opening the ticket and waiting for the engineers to troubleshoot."
"Pricing can be improved."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"The parallel backup process from the Veeam server to Veeam has some limitations. The number of parallel backups should be increased and the compressional is very low. Sometimes it is half or one-third, but other backup solutions' compression levels are very high."
"They have an integration with MS SQL, and you have to license MS SQL. This is something they need to change. They should go for an open-source database or a free SQL because you're already buying this product, and you shouldn't have to buy another product."
"The cloud part of it can be improved. There should be an option for Veeam in your own cloud, as compared to the Veeam cloud offering that's currently there. The rest of it is easy."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
"Veritas Backup Exec should improve by having a user portal that customers can use."
"At the moment, we have a very complex environment. It would take some time to deploy an environment like ours from scratch."
"A web console would be great because nowadays a lot of products are web-based and you can access the console from various environments. So I would recommend bringing this feature in the next solution."
"Veritas Backup Exec's dashboard feature could be enhanced."
"The EDR should be looked at, as the operating system is too weak."
"Better integration with non-Microsoft products would be an improvement."
"In the future, their console should not be complicated."
"We've experienced some performance issues with Backup Exec. The backup jobs take too long to complete."
