We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud, Iron Mountain Connect, and Veeam Backup & Replication based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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."
"Quick backups and restores of data are the most valuable features. It is important that it is an easy solution to integrate with the SAML authentication of our tenant, so we can have our users log into the systems and do their own restores, if needed."
"What is most valuable to me are the search features, where you can search through large backup data sets and find what you're looking for. Our data sets are so big that we're over the petabyte mark. To find a specific file for a specific user out of 10,000 users is a challenge... If we can glean from them a general description of where it might be, the search feature comes in very handy to actually locate it and restore it for them."
"Backup and archive with a single window, with a single backup job. You only need to type "c"."
"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 data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"Commvault's Command Center is one of the best solutions out there. You can rely on Commvault solutions for the most complex and most demanding environments."
"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"My customers find the backup and recovery ease of use is the most beneficial feature."
"It has helped us transfer the solution in two days instead of working for a minimum of one week to ten days."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"The product could be improved if they wrote more PowerShell scripts for controlling Veeam."
"I enjoy the ability to quickly search for VMs through the Veeam console."
"With Replication, Veeam allows us to have a duplicated VM on standby."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use and have good performance."
"We've faced problems backing up our virtual machines."
"The setup is not that straightforward or easy. Even the documentation is not generic or public like other products. You have to be a partner or you have to have a specific account and download it from the vendor themselves."
"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."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"Commvault could make the product more cost-effective on the public cloud side. We are using this solution to back up whatever is still on-prem. We are not using it to back up what is on the public cloud because we have a native backup solution for that, which is provided by the vendor. As our footprint gets bigger, we will continue to evaluate this, but the last time that we did a cost analysis, the cost was not comparable to the solution that public clouds are offering."
"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."
"The customer support is not good."
"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."
"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"The pricing could be better."
"The price could be lower."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having better integration with the cloud. Additionally, they do not have direct integration to S3 or Azure storage for the backups of the VMs. This feature would be beneficial because we have to go through the scalable repository which I do not like."
"The stability for AIX machines could be better."
"The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"The Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"The scalability of the product in large organizations is an area of concern where improvements are required."
