We compared Commvault Complete Data Protection and NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP across several parameters based on our users' reviews. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below:
Comparison Results: Commvault has a more intricate setup process, but once implemented, it is commended for its simplicity and user-friendly interface. It provides a wide range of recovery options and integrates well with various storage platforms. Conversely, NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP has a straightforward setup and is highly regarded for its integration capabilities with both on-premises and cloud environments. It offers features like cloud backup and data replication between different cloud providers. However, it receives mixed feedback regarding customer support and is considered costly by certain users.
"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."
"We use the solution for cloud and data backup."
"Commvault is a very stable product."
"One valuable feature is unlimited backup. You can back up existing users and folders."
"The solution includes the best compatibility metrics for integration and they are managed by Google support."
"The most valuable features of Commvault Hyperscale X are the full responsibilities inclined in conversion with high responsibility rates."
"There's no impact on the endpoint. It runs in the background and it's something that you install and then forget about."
"Great archive feature, OnePass, for the file system and Exchange servers."
"The fast recovery time objective with the ability to bring the environment back to production in case something happens."
"Its scalability is very good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it makes our data readily available and we don't have to go through a lot of trouble to access it."
"I like how you can easily pair on-prem with the cloud and the cloud backup feature. I like the whole integration with on-prem and the cloud for SnapMirror relationships."
"The stability has been really good."
"The initial setup was straightforward. We started with a small pilot and we then moved to production with no downtime at all."
"Replication to the cloud is the most valuable feature. Deduplication and compression are also very important to us. We are in the process of adopting to the cloud. We are going to AWS and we are trying to do a safety technician call out with integration to the cloud. NetApp allows us to move some of the volume to the cloud, at the same time that we continue providing the cloud services that we have on premises."
"If anything happens, their technical support will come onsite and fix it."
"Improved documentation and user training resources could contribute to a smoother onboarding process and more effective utilization of the platform's capabilities."
"I think there is room for improvement with the reports. They are a little poor."
"When we send a query to Commvault, they take a long time to answer our questions."
"The tool should revise its licensing."
"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."
"The tool must improve the 1-Touch recovery of Oracle and Active Directory."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."
"We do not use Command Center, but we are using CommCell Console. We're navigating and manipulating the entire environment by using CommCell Console, and we are comfortable with it. We didn't find Command Center user-friendly. We found it a bit difficult to use. It decreases the efficiency of the tasks to be performed. It was probably implemented as a centralized application to manage all environments, but it was probably not a good idea. I and my colleagues across the globe are comfortable with using CommCell Console rather than Command Center."
"We've just been dealing with general pre-requisite infrastructure configuration challenges. Once those are out of the way, it is easy."
"I would like to see more information about Cloud Volumes ONTAP using Google Cloud Platform on NetApp's website."
"When it comes to support provided by NetApp, they have room for improvement. Every time we go through their support, we end up answering the same routine questions."
"The integration wizard requires a bit of streamlining. There are small things that misconfigure or repeat the deployment that will create errors, specifically in Azure."
"NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP needs to have customizable pricing options such as 10 TB increments. They seem to have only two options: 10 TB or 250 TB."
"I would like to see more aggressive management of the aggregate space. On the Cloud Volumes ONTAP that we use for offsite backup copies, most of the data sits in S3. There are also the EBS volumes on the Cloud Volumes ONTAP itself. Sometimes what happens is that the aggregate size just stays the same. If it allocates 8 terabytes initially, it just stays at 8 terabytes for a long time, even though we're only using 20 percent of that 8 terabytes. NetApp could undersize that more aggressively."
"The encryption and deduplication features still have a lot of room for improvement."
"We have used technical support. As long as they don't call me at four o'clock in the morning to tell me that a drive failed and they are sending me another one, I like it. They have a tendency to do that."
