We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and VMware SRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The 1-Touch recovery feature is helpful for all customers."
"Commvault is a stable solution for Red Hat Linux."
"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."
"Complete Data Protection is convenient because you can manage various types of databases, and it's pretty easy to set it up."
"It's very user-friendly. It supports a wide range of workloads. It's quite easy to use, it's very powerful and it's scalable."
"We can use it on-premises and in the cloud."
"The most important feature is that everything can be controlled using a single console."
"Commvault provides data protection. Their engine is ransomware-agnostic so ransomware doesn't compromise our backup data. Therefore, we can rely on their data protection to recover and back up our production system."
"It's easy to use and the interface is quite simple."
"It's very reliable. The solution is stable."
"The installation and initial setup are straightforward."
"The replication is a key feature."
"I would rate the ease of setting up and configuring my recovery plan in VMware SRM, a ten out of ten, with ten being the easiest."
"The solution is simple to use and has effective automation."
"Combined with RecoverPoint, it offers zero RPO and zero RTO."
"Testing failover capabilities."
"Commvault HyperScale X could improve by allowing backups of the storage area network (SAN)."
"I would like to see more customizable reports. I have reports going right now, but the daily report, for example, shows something like 40 jobs that ran when there are just a few endpoints on there. I'd like to just know if the endpoint was successfully backed up, not how many times. More customizable reports would be nice to have."
"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."
"It is a little more complicated than it really needs to be."
"I would like more communication informing us on what Commvault is doing in the background."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"When you deploy Complete Data Protection for past services, it's more complicated because you cannot directly back up from the previous service host. We have to build a proxy server, like a middleware, to directly access the past database server. It's complex and hard for beginners to figure out."
"We had some small issues with the reporting, but that was just a matter of fine-tuning the kinds of messages we receive by email. It was a little overwhelming in the initial configuration. So we reviewed our configuration with our partner and customized the reports so that we only get the important reports. I haven't seen any big issues or things that the solution is missing."
"The solution could improve by removing some of the limitations we have been facing. There could be better integrated."
"In my opinion, the integration with Peer Persistent Storage could be improved."
"It would be good if this solution could integrate configuration management software such as Chef Infra."
"The price, in general, could be lower."
"Currently, there is a limitation of consolidating only 15 sites per SRM."
"SRM has to be installed on two separate data centers, so both have to be coordinated very well, which becomes complicated when configuring the software for disaster recovery."
"VMware SRM's platform agnostics should support on-cloud usage as well."
"The version we are currently using is not the latest and greatest but it has buggy behavior in some browsers."
