We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and Commvault Complete Data Protection based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Commvault Complete Data Protection finishes slightly ahead of Azure Backup in this comparison. Commvault can handle the most complex and most demeaning environments effortlessly. It is easy to use, offers a wide range of workloads, and is very scalable. Azure has some integration issues and limits the amount of backup that can be performed.
"Azure Backup is very simple to use and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the native backup capabilities."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"It is easy to schedule backups."
"All of the core features are valuable to us."
"It's stable."
"The product is very reliable and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the file recovery and file vault."
"It runs all the tests and emails us the reports. We take daily, weekly, and monthly snapshots, and I integrate the storage snapshot scripts with the Commvault workflow. The Commvault workflow runs all the scripts and sends us the reports. It also features cloud-side reports and workflows. Commvault has many tools for backing up, restoring, and archiving things, but we use another service for our archives."
"Commvault is a very stable product."
"IntelliSnap and file system backups are valuable features."
"Commvault can actually come in and assist you with aspects of the implementation - and they are quite helpful."
"Complete Data Protection is convenient because you can manage various types of databases, and it's pretty easy to set it up."
"Great archive feature, OnePass, for the file system and Exchange servers."
"Commvault's many features can be explored to get more value from more solutions."
"The solution is easy to use and the duplication is quite good."
"In Avamar, the file-based restores are very quick and fast, whereas, in Azure Backup, VM restore is super easy, but if I have to do a file or a folder restore, I have to mount the entire VM image. I have to wait for some time for it to be mounted, and then I have to go inside and then check the file and copy it somewhere. It's a bit of a manual process, whereas in Avamar, you can directly select a file and folder, and it'll recover with whatever permissions you want."
"There is a limitation of 99 files restores per day which means that we can't complete a huge file restore. We would like Azure to increase the number of the possible file restorations."
"To make it a ten, it should have the ability to extend the retention and to perform a copy of the data outside of the subscription - with no additional costs."
"Lacks an AI system that would enable easier upgrading of the hardware."
"The tool's backup should be faster. Azure Backup's support should be faster."
"The integration with the record database and integration with other applications will be good, especially with the database piece."
"It can be further improved by continuously meeting its compliance requirements."
"I can’t use the solution to restore another native cloud solution. Azure must add this new feature."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"Commvault has two management dashboards. The first is the CommCell Console, which is Java-based, and the second is Command Center. We don't always find all the features we need in the Command Center and we need to go through the Java console, and sometimes features are only on the Java console."
"The HTML interface is a remarkable improvement. However, there are still some features that are not available in that interface that are available in the Java console, but I'm sure that will come with time."
"Commvault's price is quite high."
"The setup was a little bit difficult for a non-IT person like me. My OneDrive is protected by multifactor authentication, and to get the backup to begin behind that multifactor authentication took a little bit of almost customized support, even though I was following the instructions and the videos. That process could have been easier."
"The tool must improve the 1-Touch recovery of Oracle and Active Directory."
"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."
"It takes a lot of technical expertise to implement. Commvault could increase the training it provides to customers and partners."
