We performed a comparison between AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery 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."For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"The initial setup is really straightforward."
"CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is a fairly stable solution."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"We went from an organization with minimal to no disaster recovery. I was able to spin up the disaster recovery environment with AWS rather quickly and meet business requirements."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests."
"Quick backups and restores of data are the most valuable features. It is important that it is an easy solution to integrate with the SAML authentication of our tenant, so we can have our users log into the systems and do their own restores, if needed."
"The Commvault Complete Data Protection interface is straightforward to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Commvault HyperScale X is the automatic nature of its operation. We don't need to worry about sets of documents. It worked automatically, we don't need to think about it. When you set the solution up in a good way, you don't need to worry."
"The product has the best features for scaling up and administering all the solutions from a single platform."
"The solution has the fastest backup and better licensing."
"Cloud integration."
"Complete Data Protection is convenient because you can manage various types of databases, and it's pretty easy to set it up."
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"I would like to see better support for creating and working with archives."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"I set up a test, deleted the source, and went to fail it back, and it didn't work."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
"We've run into some issues when attempting to restore very large numbers of files. Of course, that's more of a design issue."
"It takes a lot of technical expertise to implement. Commvault could increase the training it provides to customers and partners."
"I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor."
"The deployment process should be simplified because it is not something that just anybody can do."
"With respect to the cloud, they need to offer more integrations."
"The main area for improvement is that we sometimes experience negative effects from their updates. If they had a larger test area for their updates, that would help."
"Commvault Complete Data Protection meets market standards, but an area for improvement is its licensing model. It would be good if it could use the subscription-based model rather than the traditional licensing model."
"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."
