We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud, IBM Spectrum Protect, 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."We can use it on-premises and in the cloud."
"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"We specialize in Commvault and IntelliSnap. Commvault covers all our customers' backup needs in one system, and they have complete control over their Snapshot backups. Snapshots are important to our customers because of the size of their data sets."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to backup over the dedicated Fiber Channel directly from SAN."
"Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux."
"It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market."
"Technical support is okay. We have not had many issues with them."
"It's a very stable product, and we've never had any downtime with it."
"One way they have improved our organization is through the stability of the solution and the availability of the product."
"One of the main things that I like about IBM is the versioning of the data - meaning that we can have multiple versions of a file or directory of a server."
"All other products contain the same features, but when I'm backing up an IBM Power server I feel more comfortable with IBM Spectrum Protect because it's the same vendor."
"Nothing beats this solution for file backup."
"Our customers have come to trust IBM."
"The solution is really scalable."
"One of the most valuable features is the incremental backup. It is, of course, perfect because you have a lot of restore points, but you don't need all the space. The stability is also perfect."
"What I like most about this solution are the simplicity and the price-performance ratio."
"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."
"The product allows us to use data more efficiently, reducing the cost of storage and backup time. It is vital to have data available in the shortest possible time."
"It serves its intended purpose and it works well."
"A quick-working solution that is very user friendly."
"Good compression when storing data."
"The solution is easy to install and very stable."
"We do not use Command Center, but we are using CommCell Console. We're navigating and manipulating the entire environment by using CommCell Console, and we are comfortable with it. We didn't find Command Center user-friendly. We found it a bit difficult to use. It decreases the efficiency of the tasks to be performed. It was probably implemented as a centralized application to manage all environments, but it was probably not a good idea. I and my colleagues across the globe are comfortable with using CommCell Console rather than Command Center."
"We've faced problems backing up our virtual machines."
"The retention log feature could be an issue for us and can be improved. The backup schedule can also be better in terms of how you set it up."
"If I were to ask them to work on something, it would be the fidelity of the alerts that occur. They should tell me if it is a real event or not. It is easy for it to identify that something hit it but give me more information. They can build AI into the engine so that I get better output from an alert to tell me if I should really be interested in that or not."
"Mostly controls, visibility, cost allocation."
"Improved documentation and user training resources could contribute to a smoother onboarding process and more effective utilization of the platform's capabilities."
"For simpler environments, they have some templates for startups. Possibly for a smaller environment, they need to do more automatic configuration and selections of users who want to do backups. This is mainly for smaller environments. I would like them to have the same system fit for all environments: small and big environments. Currently, we have to do a lot of configuration of the layout, which takes time. This solution is appropriate for enterprise-level enterprise, but I would like it to be easier to use for SMB environments."
"Command Center definitely gives us a complete view of our data. But finding some of the granular, very small items that we sometimes have to find, such as auxiliary copies for tapes, I still find that it's easier to navigate and, sometimes, only possible to find them using the CommCell tool."
"It does not do too well in our virtual environment."
"We are still using TSM Manager for many of our projects to administer our platform because the gap was not resolved with the new Operations Center."
"IBM Spectrum Protect is not a very user-friendly tool."
"IBM Spectrum Protect does have a lot of the features that we need, but I think they need to improve their backup virtualization and backup for container."
"The product should be improved to save more space."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"I want a better user interface, support, and integrations."
"Restoration takes about two to four hours with Veeam. Zerto can restore in about 10 seconds. That's the restoration speed I'm looking for now that we're dealing with ransomware."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"It would be beneficial to have enhanced solutions for database backup, particularly for Oracle databases in the context of SAP systems."
"If you do not use the standard software and you go with a third-party solution such as this one, it might not work the same. There is an integration issue I understand between the database standards."
"think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."
"Technical support can be improved."
"They need a better solution for backend storage."
"The recovery and integration features of Veeam Backup Replication could improve. For example, all VM integration could improve, such as with Hyper-V and VMware."
