We performed a comparison between AWS Backup and Commvault Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can directly back up EC2 instances in AWS without using any third-party applications."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"It is highly scalable for both SMEs and large enterprises."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"It's very easy to configure. Since it's a managed service, it's very straightforward to set up and use. And my customers get on with it very fast."
"The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."
"The 1-Touch recovery feature is helpful for all customers."
"Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux."
"It is just about as flexible as you can get; simple. You can put it anywhere you want. You can put it on-prem or in your cloud. I could see where a team that's looking for more of a follow the bouncy ball type of solution might get a little confused. "Oh, no. What do you mean I might have to do it this way or I can't do it that way?" Sometimes, people just want to be told what to do. For an enterprise environment, like we are at NDOT, everything we do is not standard. It is not industry standard; it is not normal. We have all kinds of one-offs. We do need flexibility in the solutions that we get. I will say that Metallic has been extremely flexible in that sense, where we are able to follow the bouncy ball if we wanted to. Obviously, we didn't. We did it our way and Metallic, as a whole solution, provided that to us with no issues."
"Real-time synchronization is a good feature."
"Commvault gives us a single platform to manage and recover our data. Since we are a research organization, backup is one of the most critical parts of our IT operations and services. Internally, we run it as a managed service, and there is a single console that makes it easy for management to see the performance."
"With the use of the cloud, the solution is easy to learn."
"It is a stable solution."
"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."
"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS."
"Only the price could be improved."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."
"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
"The notifications on the backup and on the mobile app could be more useful. If they could arrange notes or notifications properly and offer services for managing it in our region, it would be helpful for us."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"There could be a centralized dashboard with a reporting feature notifying us of daily backup status."
"It would be a bit unfair to say that it's complex, due to the fact that it supports so many different workloads, however, if there's anything that is a bit of a shortcoming, then it's the fact that there's a bit of complexity involved when dealing with the product."
"In an upcoming release, the reports could be better."
"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."
"This is not a very high standard product."
"The initial setup was complex."
"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."
"Support could improve and the initial configuration would be easier with assistance from a professional engineer."
"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."
