We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud, Rubrik, 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."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."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Complete Data Protection are the complete feature sets it provides in one platform. You are able to backup many different types of data, such as virtual machines, servers, cloud, endpoints, Microsoft Office365, and Gmail. The usage of the solution is flexible."
"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"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."
"It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate."
"The solution’s user interface for managing the on-prem environment is good."
"We are using a KVM system in our cloud, and this solution works very well with it."
"Commvault is both very stable and scalable."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"The archiving, off-of-box, is awesome. It lets you put your data where you want it and gives you the peace of mind of having more than one copy of it. And it's smart about the way that it does the archiving. It doesn't just copy one-for-one. It does all of its processing of the deduplication and compression before it sends it off to the archive, which helps with our cloud costs."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"Live Mount is where we do the majority of our big recoveries, unless it is a file recovery. A file recovery takes a few minutes to restore to where the file in the event a file was accidentally deleted by a user, etc. There has been at least a 90 percent reduction in recovery time based on our previous solution, from the need to recover something to when it's actually recovered went from hours to minutes."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
"Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary."
"I like that Backup Exec integrates with Microsoft Exchange. We can retrieve backups from the email boxes."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"The solution is very scalable. Whenever we grew, it was just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy to grow."
"The most important feature is the variety of backup applications it supports, including ERP systems and most other programs, such as Microsoft."
"I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one."
"It has good stability. Its interface is very good, responsive, and easy for restoring data. I use it for backup, encryption, and restore operations, and it works. I am using many agents from VM to LMDP. I also use an agent for SQL Server, which has advanced options because it is the Enterprise version."
"This solution has a very good technical support department that is very responsive."
"It gives us the ability to locate and restore critical files which users may have intentionally or unknowing deleted a while ago."
"The speed of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is adequate. Microsoft controls the amount of bandwidth that people have when they're using Azure and the O365 environment... If they could work out something with Microsoft to improve the speed, that would help."
"Data center backup must be improved."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."
"This product is overly complex to operate and run."
"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."
"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."
"We previously had difficulty with the support being foreign."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"Rubrik could improve in customization options for dashboards."
"The recovery of Oracle databases is too complicated. It is not something that helps the DBA, the Database Administrator, but it should be done by the backup person like many other solutions. Everything is ready for the DBA to recover the database. It is a way of doing things, but I don't think you should give the backup people the ability to do it."
"They have what's called an organization which means different groups of access to Rubrik, but the alerting only goes to the admins. My suggestion to Rubrik is to make sure that the separate organizations or groups of users get the appropriate alerting."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system. You have to engage their support to perform some of the tasks. It would be helpful for an experienced engineer to be able to go and do some of those tasks prior to contacting the support."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"If I could take a snapshot from a physical and be able to stand it up as a virtual immediately without the need to rebuild an entire system and restoring files, that would be HUGE."
"Veritas Backup Exec could improve the analytics. If there were some more detail in our scan reports it would be beneficial."
"There needs to be an integration process of the endpoint devices so that we don't have to redo everything for different products."
"The cost is quite high. Along with the general costs, the supposed agents that you have to buy for the various options that you want to use ends up driving the costs higher as well."
"The initial installation needs some effort."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
"I wish that they have an outlet for the other products from Veritas built into the Backup Exec product. For example, Backup Exec does only server backup. Currently, it is possible to read the backup of one other product, but if they can add more products so that you can just go into the dashboard of these other products by clicking on a button within the Backup Exec product, it would be great."
"Firstly, the GUI for 2014 is mostly confusing, i.e., if you need to add any additional technical features, then it doesn't require a change to the GUI."
"The pricing could be improved."
