We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud, Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL], 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.
"This solution gives me the full insight without having to use other products, metrics, or reporting tools."
"The solution's stability is excellent."
"There's no impact on the endpoint. It runs in the background and it's something that you install and then forget about."
"The product's stability is good enough."
"One of the most valuable features is the encryption which helps save you from ransomware. Because the data is already encrypted, it cannot be encrypted again."
"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."
"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."
"The cloud integration is a massive win for us, giving us a single backup service for all of our on-premise and cloud systems."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."
"I like how Veeam intuitively integrates with Zerto."
"Its backup capabilities in general are great."
"The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V."
"It's scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the continuous backup."
"They introduced a new feature called the Immutable Repository feature, which helps protect environments from malware attacks that target backup file extensions."
"The data backup replication has been the most useful feature. Previously, we copied the data hub to an external hard drive but now we are able to store the backup on one of the depository service."
"It's got a very good user-friendly interface. It's easy to use."
"Endpoint backup."
"The solution must provide deception files across the network."
"One issue we face is the complexity of the console. That could be improved on. It takes users time to get familiar with Commvault. On average, it takes our customers between one and three months to learn it. The console and the way you configure Commvault have very advanced settings. It takes time to understand how it works."
"Compared to Rubrik, MongoDB Data Protector, and NetBackup, Commvault is better. The licensing team was quite tricky recently because they stopped the unlimited files for that license. Commvault made a bank of 500GB only, a node-based license can take it, which is disappointing. Reporting needs to be more granular. Also, there should be a showback of data being backed up, and the backup cost to share the cost internally with the department."
"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."
"I would like Commvault to have a feature for cybersecurity threats, e.g. securing the target backup repository. Commvault just started testing and releasing this feature, but it needs to be stabilized."
"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."
"This solution can be complex and difficult to administer because it supports all of the many platforms, so it would help if they could simplify it."
"The integration needs improvement."
"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."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"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."
"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"The replication process is very slow. It takes too long to replicate a virtual machine."
"I have issues with the licensing."
"We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team."
"The solution could improve by having a version to be compatible with the Linux system. They have improved the storage depository using the Linux proxy and Linux storage, but it can completely run on the Linux environment it would be much better."
"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 Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"The implementation of the features can be improved. Currently, there is no segregation of duty. Normally, any backup software or client service software is implemented in a way where one person is responsible for the implementation of the server, and one is responsible for the client, but Veeam Backup & Replication is not implemented in that way. Therefore, restores don't work like that. The backup guys have to do the restores, which is not a good thing. Its pricing should also be improved. It is quite expensive."
