We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Commvault Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."
"Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained."
"With the use of the cloud, the solution is easy to learn."
"Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux."
"Complete Data Protection is convenient because you can manage various types of databases, and it's pretty easy to set it up."
"The compression and deduplication are great for optimizing bandwidth and speed. I don't have to worry about it or think about it, and, because it's a SaaS solution, I don't have to worry about the storage size."
"It's very easy to set up the storage across all platforms. This allows us to be dynamic and change on-the-fly."
"The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console."
"Commvault can perform a backup no matter where you are, and it takes a backup every four hours. No matter when you come to the office, it'll take a backup if you're connected to the internet and check the system for online availability."
"Global deduplication and the indexing of the data object are the most valuable features. It saves costs on the product side by doing compression and deduplication. It will help you and make your life easy to reach the data that you need within the minimum downtime when it's required."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."
"I would assess the Command Center as a very useful but sometimes difficult tool. It is multipurpose. It has all the features of logging and monitoring, especially for the actual setup. For us, it is easy because we work daily with it, but for customers who only use it once a week, they sometimes have some difficulties. Command Center is not user-friendly for beginners."
"I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor."
"This is not a very high standard product."
"Commvault should keep and continue to develop the Java GUI."
"It would be nice to have just one email report come in, then we can filter out failures. If everything is backed up, we really don't need to see the report. If it is in a single report. A simpler customised report would be good."
"We are using a production environment with customer-sensitive data on it. As per our central bank rules and regulations, we can't keep our customer's sensitive data in the cloud."
"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."
