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."Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"One valuable feature is unlimited backup. You can back up existing users and folders."
"Integration with Active Directory and the Azure platform make it a complete solution."
"It is much more scalable and flexible than everything else in the market."
"The cloud integration is a massive win for us, giving us a single backup service for all of our on-premise and cloud systems."
"Metallic helped me to restore the data within an hour, which is much faster than restoring from Microsoft services."
"It's a software-based solution so we just need a license to expand it."
"We can go from one page to another page, from office backups to VM backups, or applications like secret backups. So everything can be configured or restored from a single pin."
"The dashboard was good. I loved to see the maintenance dashboard every time I logged on. That was my first screen because it always gave me a reminder of how many days before my next renewal."
"The ease-of-use in general is great."
"It is a good backup tool."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can rely on it. It offers a quick recovery time when it's backing up items. The way it recovers data is excellent."
"Setting up Backup Exec is straightforward. It took less than two weeks to get it up and running. You need maybe two people at most if you have a Veritas-certified engineer."
"The most valuable features of Veritas Backup Exec are the easy-to-use intuitive GUI. It is very easy to understand. I have never lost data and I have been able to recover all the data I need."
"Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage."
"Just to keep it running is time-consuming. There are five people on my team. Commvault was supposed to be one of the less time-consuming solutions, but in reality it takes 60 percent of our time just to keep it running, and that's not even fine-tuning it; that's just to keep it running."
"It would be nice to have just one email report come in, then we can filter out failures. If everything is backed up, we really don't need to see the report. If it is in a single report. A simpler customised report would be good."
"My customers are not satisfied with the tool because there is a little trouble with the throughput of Metallic."
"The product is a bit complex."
"Commvault HyperScale X is more expensive for hybrid environments than traditional solutions."
"In an upcoming release, the reports could be better."
"Training."
"I would like to improve their ability to back up the cloud environment. Additionally, it would be nice to have simpler UI."
"Veritas Backup Exec could improve the analytics. If there were some more detail in our scan reports it would be beneficial."
"They can improve the reporting component. The reports aren't user-friendly at all. You have to download them to Excel to get statistics."
"If you keep it for too long and the catalog gets really big, the application tends to move slowly."
"The cost is quite high. Along with the general costs, the supposed agents that you have to buy for the various options that you want to use ends up driving the costs higher as well."
"Firstly, the GUI for 2014 is mostly confusing, i.e., if you need to add any additional technical features, then it doesn't require a change to the GUI."
"The solution could improve by having better documentation."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
