We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud, IBM Spectrum Protect, and Veritas NetBackup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."HyperScale X is really user-friendly and has a lot of features. It's also cheaper, faster, and more stable than its competitors."
"It integrates redundant storage and preserves jams in a storage area, providing up to 70% compression rate."
"Commvault has a unique administration platform with more features than its competitors."
"It's very user-friendly. It supports a wide range of workloads. It's quite easy to use, it's very powerful and it's 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 solution is easy to use and the duplication is quite good."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"I like the product because of its simplicity and the fact that it provides one single interface for managing everything, including storage, data, and policies."
"Its flexibility is valuable. It is a very flexible solution. There are always more ways than one to do something. It is a software solution, which means you can buy your own hardware and expand it whenever you want. You are not boxed in or locked into something you've bought and outgrown. You can always expand it."
"The main feature of this product is a flexible architecture and functionality that allows you to solve problems of any complexity and scale. Most importantly, it is not just a product that simply makes a backup, but it restores and saves a large number of services in critical situations. By the way, it works fine with different types of clouds, supports S3."
"The backup is very good. In other backup systems, you need a lot of storage to gain the same backup policy."
"Our performance is better."
"The platform has valuable stability."
"We cannot live without it, since it gives us the confidence to move forward."
"I've had no problems with the stability of this solution."
"With the new features that we have added, it has made a difference as far as faster recovery and speed."
"The most valuable feature is that it is basically a replica of our SAND data. We archive the SAND data for recovery, if there is an issue on the fence."
"It is essential. We can't do without it."
"Its ability to cover a large spectrum of products and operating systems is invaluable. We evaluated other products but always found certain limitations like some products had only intel-based virtualization, while others had power servers."
"It provides us with the versatility to back up everything we require which eliminates the need for a secondary backup solution."
"The solution is stable."
"I have found it to be the simplest solution to the market. It gives us a complete end to end solution. We are using this solution, Veritas Appliance and another one for access archiving. It is convenient to have all the support from one vendor."
"I like the virtual server backup."
"It's a good product, it does what we want it to do."
"The back of virtual machines needs improvement. I know they're working on it. They're always doing new things but I think they still have a little bit more to do."
"The solution requires improvement with its connection and bandwidth."
"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."
"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."
"Support for this product needs to be improved because I have seen a couple of cases where it is taking more than the required time to solve issues."
"With so many features, sometimes you cannot find what you are looking for in the interface and you have to dig into books online to find out how to solve an issue."
"They need to integrate configuration screens or videos (free training courses, webinars, demos) so that engineers with little experience can fully exploit the features that are offered or managed within the license that was acquired, and thus have better quality and completely satisfactory experience."
"Getting my guys the right access has a learning curve. Sometimes, it is, "Oh, okay. I think I got it for you." Then, they say, "Oh, nope. I logged in but I can't see this." Then, it is, "Okay, hold on. Give me a second. Let me change that. Okay, it's this one." That learning curve has probably taken a little bit longer than some simpler things. So, Metallic has some granularity, and as a systems administrator, I appreciate that. At the same time, I also realize that I have to learn it."
"We would like to see bare-metal restorers."
"The administration interface should implement more functionalities that exist only in the command line and needs improvement in how some reports are created."
"The version that we had when I first started made it look really bad. We are talking about commands that should have run in two seconds, but instead took four to eight hours. Other components were sluggish."
"There is room for improvement in IBM Spectrum Protect, especially regarding its support for virtual environment backups."
"They do not have a unified GUI, they only work on CLI and operations center, which is really complicated for the installation and configuration."
"In terms of features, they've got it all covered. The features they have are quite good. The only downside to it is that it is for an enterprise or big organization. In my opinion, it is not for a small business."
"It has a lot of areas for improvement. Its reporting for job completion or incompletion can be improved. It should also provide a granular recovery, ease of operation, data life cycle management, and media management. It should support a backup in such a format that in case of a disaster, one can start the virtual machine out of the backup itself. Its reliability can also be better. It is also expensive, and their support is also poor."
"It should have the ability to break down the data that's being backed up. It should have better reporting."
"It is a very expensive solution. They should have a different scheme for selling it. They should also make it easy for us to switch from Solaris to Linux. We are having some trouble in migrating our actual catalog from Solaris to Linux."
"It would be better if it had a cloud integration feature. I would like to use a single product for the cloud instances and the on-premise instances. The price could also be better."
"Netbackup can backup MySQL via Oracle policy, to be honest, this is not completely native support and this method has a few limitations. In fact, you can buy from Veritas (or Zmanda) clients for MySQL or PostgerSQL from Zmanda to backup MySQL or PostgreSQL on Linux."
"The licensing costs could be more affordable."
"It's a little bit complex to manage."
"DDBoost."
"Technical support is somewhat slow and is in need of improvement."
"The flip side about NetBackup is that it is not policy-based."
