We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud, IBM Spectrum Protect, and Oracle Data Guard based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"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."
"Scalability, as well as stability, are a couple of important parts of this solution."
"The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console."
"Commvault has a unique administration platform with more features than its competitors."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Hyperscale X are the full responsibilities inclined in conversion with high responsibility rates."
"The rate of duplication is great."
"Disk-based implementation of a data protection solution for multiple sites is a better fit for my complex data protection needs."
"The customization and the ability to backup across all platforms are the most valuable features."
"Incremental forever: This feature helps us reduce backup time and backup storage space."
"Some of the people in our group, like our DBAs and non-technical people, can restore some stuff themselves via Spectrum Protect. That is how simple it is."
"It scales well for the amount of clients that we use with it."
"The technical support for Spectrum Protect is very mature. It is very committed to giving a top-notch support experience."
"We cannot live without it, since it gives us the confidence to move forward."
"The way it covers backup and archive needs. The flexibility of backup copy group always allows me to cover the customer's requests."
"The most valuable feature is the application or promotional code used in the production protocol to transfer data to the secondary database, situated on the DR site."
"It's a very good solution if you want to protect your data across two data centers, or you have a middle man or many administrators who use these solutions for protecting their data. It's very reliable compared to other solutions that are most often not storage-based."
"Data Guard also improved because customers with an active Data Guard license want to reduce the I/O in a production environment. Some application complaints to it for Oracle reporting purposes. It has a production environment that needs to be enhanced."
"If you have a problem with your primary site and can't access your primary database, you can continue working with the database that you have as standby on the other site, by changing its role to primary."
"Oracle Data Guard has a nice feature called the DataGuard snapshot to open the solution in the read-write mode and make some changes to the database."
"It is a top-notch product, super stable, making it our go-to for internal operations."
"Technical support is very good. If at any time we write a ticket, we get the appropriate answer on time."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restore. With this in place along with the clustering, the database is safe from hacking, hardware failure, power failures, and system crashes."
"With respect to the cloud, they need to offer more integrations."
"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."
"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."
"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."
"It takes a lot of steps to implement backups. We have to do a lot of planning to make the solution work properly. It takes some time to create every policy. It's an easy task, but there are many steps. It's not as easy as using Veeam."
"I would like to see some of the code execute a little bit better when I add new licenses and assign licenses to users. I'd like to see that information update a little quicker."
"Bare-metal restore needs some work. It's not intuitive and seems to have been an afterthought."
"They don't market their products well. They don't do a lot of marketing to enable them to move forward."
"I find the Level 1 and Level 2 support spend 80% of the time communicating the same information that I have already provided."
"They are behind on many things, especially security. They are catching up a little bit now, but the competitors are doing better security-wise. There should be malware detection and prevention and higher security."
"They can include more cloud-enriching features. I would like IBM Spectrum Protect to have the functionality for backing up a VM directly in Azure. I would like to be able to back up a VM directly in Azure without spinning up a Hyper-V cluster and backing up the virtual server."
"The features should be a little bit closer together."
"There could be various client systems and process integration included in the product."
"Probably educating the virtual group who are not as used to the product. Most of our expertise is with AIX servers and virtual server backups."
"Restoring massive files is a very time-consuming process."
"Replication services would be nice. If these could be enhanced to be always on so multiple storage backup services could be added as a cluster pool. This would provide a better availability service."
"The implementation is complex for anyone who's jumping into it without any experience. It's all command-line driven implementations. For some, that's a turn-off."
"For every standby server you have, you must pay a licensing fee, which is the main disadvantage."
"Sometimes, the technical support team takes time to respond."
"One thing that can be improved is the GUI. It would be good to have a very nice GUI to easily configure and administer, providing different presentations to the database administrator. The feature that can be included is the integration with third-party monitoring systems, that is, monitoring systems from other vendors, not only from Oracle."
"We would like to be able to see the date time stamp when you execute DGMGRL commands."
"The product could improve its pricing."
"The IP implementation and maintenance are a little bit hard to manage across Oracle solutions, including Oracle Data Guard."
"The deployment cost is expensive."
