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."We can use it on-premises and in the cloud."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console."
"The return points are very valuable."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"The solution's interface is easy to use. For manageability, it doesn't matter where the resource is coming from or going to. That's the great power of the Control Panel: It's easy to use and does not matter if you manage on-prem or cloud resources."
"The granularity of the Office 365 Backup & Recovery feature is very good. We've used all of it, recovering data from each of the four systems that we back up with it, and it works very well."
"Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux."
"The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use."
"Deduplication implementation with CAPA is very good."
"The file system backup (by far, the most used) is the most valuable feature."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"Integration with HP storage is a very strong point for Micro Focus Data Protector. It is the best solution for general operations like backup and restore. Zero downtime backup (ZDB) is one very important feature, which is basically the integration with the storage array. It is a very strong feature. We're using storage with snapshots with this integration."
"It's a good product that's pretty easy to use."
"Commvault HyperScale X could improve by allowing backups of the storage area network (SAN)."
"The solution requires constant attention. Commvault is very complex. We are constantly making adjustments and working through hotfixes, updates, and issues."
"The stability of the tool could be improved."
"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."
"The back of virtual machines needs improvement. I know they're working on it. They're always doing new things but I think they still have a little bit more to do."
"The solution must provide deception files across the network."
"There is room for improvement in the data center application running on the cloud for the platform."
"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."
"We have so many specific technological cracks in Micro Focus, but we are not getting the features, facilities, or coordination between the global delivery centers and the R&D team that we need to express our ideas."
"People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison."
"It would be ideal if they could improve their level of support."
"It's very expensive compared to Veeam and other similar solutions."
"Micro Focus are improving Data Protector with every new version and since we began undergoing training with the latest version we have not faced any real challenges yet. However, their support does need to be improved, in my opinion. In certain critical cases that we've had, they did not provide a satisfactory level of support."
"This solution is not scalable."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"It has a lot of undeveloped functions like window searching and patent searching, and within the main backup processes like VMware and Microsoft Exchange. It's completely not user-friendly, and it has no built-in antivirus software. In my opinion, Micro Focus Data Protector is not an enterprise level solution."
