We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud, IBM Spectrum Protect, and Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] 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 Command Center is provided from the web interface. You can back up the data for everybody, but also you can give everybody the ability to view and restore their data. For example, if a laptop, machine, or environment is owned by X, then X can look in and see the environment and data that he has backed up. He can see everything that he owns and can manage the environment as he wishes. It gives him an excellent view of his environment and infrastructure. Also, if you are a service provider, you can back up data for multiple companies and give everyone an interface for their environment to manage, backup, and restore data. Commvault has done excellent work in this area."
"The cloud integration is a massive win for us, giving us a single backup service for all of our on-premise and cloud systems."
"Commvault is both very stable and scalable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Commvault's many features can be explored to get more value from more solutions."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Among the best features are the BMR (Bare Metal Recovery), Live Sync, and IntelliSnap, which is used for snapshots of hypervisor storage. It's predefined so you only need to enable it and it works. I haven't seen anything like this in other backup tools like Veritas NetBackup or Dell EMC or TSM. We will use snapshotting for all our machines."
"We use Commvault Command Center for backups and restores and for the creation of new clients. We use it for other functionalities as well. In terms of VMware, I can go directly to the Command Center, enter VMware, and I can search it directly. Command Center is very useful and it can be used for more advanced techniques."
"It has to ability to backup DV2, Oracle, and Informix."
"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."
"We've found the product to be quite stable and the performance is very good."
"Data archiving is easier and less time-consuming."
"We apply the new dedupe and compression technology, using maintenance and time to give more time for the backup window and less time for the overhead related to the daily housekeeping."
"Support of the IBM X platform and the backup data replication to DR are the most valuable features."
"We do not lose data. That is why we are using this product and have a backup in place."
"We are talking about a stable solution which boasts good performance and security."
"The solution is very simple. Management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
"It's simple to use."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"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."
"We previously had difficulty with the support being foreign."
"Commvault HyperScale X could improve by allowing backups of the storage area network (SAN)."
"I would like to see more customizable reports. I have reports going right now, but the daily report, for example, shows something like 40 jobs that ran when there are just a few endpoints on there. I'd like to just know if the endpoint was successfully backed up, not how many times. More customizable reports would be nice to have."
"You can't change Metallic's retention policies without contacting the Commvault support team."
"We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue."
"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."
"Its dashboard could be improved to provide a summarized version of all the jobs instead of having to go through each one of them. We should easily be able to glance at all issues. If I had not gone with the on-premise version, I would have had regular reports with the cloud version. It would be an advantage if they increase the compression rate of the backup. I am keeping it on-prem, so I'll need more disks depending on the policies that I have in the retention period. Its price could also be lower. If a good solution can be cheaper, it is always an advantage."
"I need two separate solutions for virtual and physical systems. I need IBM Spectrum Protect Plus for virtual systems and Spectrum Protect for physical systems and that's a pain. It would be an improvement if they were combined."
"The reporting could be better."
"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."
"High availability (HA) is a scalability challenge."
"I would like a little more ease with the virtual platforms, because it is a huge thing that is coming up."
"They should have a proper technical support team serving the customers and get issues resolved earlier."
"In the next version of the solution, I would like to see cloud support."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"I would like to be able to install Veeam directly to Linux instead of having to go through a Windows server."
