We performed a comparison between Commvault Cloud and Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."We now have the capability to recover a virtual machine without relying on the NFS system, but instead are able to use certain features provided by Commvault."
"Commvault gives us a single platform to manage and recover our data. Since we are a research organization, backup is one of the most critical parts of our IT operations and services. Internally, we run it as a managed service, and there is a single console that makes it easy for management to see the performance."
"The solution is easy to use and the duplication is quite good."
"The solution has the fastest backup and better licensing."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, the graphical interface, and it's high speed."
"It's very easy to set up the storage across all platforms. This allows us to be dynamic and change on-the-fly."
"Commvault Backup & Recovery's search utility is its most valuable feature."
"There are many valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X giving many possibilities to complete jobs."
"The user interface is good."
"I like the incremental backups and their failover."
"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to pick up individual files."
"The product is expensive."
"Compared to Rubrik, MongoDB Data Protector, and NetBackup, Commvault is better. The licensing team was quite tricky recently because they stopped the unlimited files for that license. Commvault made a bank of 500GB only, a node-based license can take it, which is disappointing. Reporting needs to be more granular. Also, there should be a showback of data being backed up, and the backup cost to share the cost internally with the department."
"Reduce the complexity for better understanding of the reports. There are a lot of variables in which you can get confused while elaborating on reports."
"The reporting is complicated and should be simplified in an upcoming release."
"The product does not provide an option to save a copy of data on-premises."
"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."
"This product is overly complex to operate and run."
"They can improve the VMware recovery and VMware backup. There is an improvement area on the VMware infrastructure. They can make available what they call a VSA proxy. They can have an appliance-type setup to deploy VSA backups and help recover quicker. They can have an appliance ready. Instead of having to have a server dedicated to that and installing software on a server, they can just provide an actual appliance for that."
"Technical support could be improved."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"The pricing could be lowered if possible."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."
"They could be more customer-friendly."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
